Your Bios has an option to boot from your DVD Drive or external drive. If the internal or external drive has no boot sector or disc with a boot sector the system will not boot. You will need to go into your bios at boot time most often by tapping your delete key or whatever option your motherboard bios requires and change the option back to boot from your hard drive.
