Check your BIOS boot priority, make sure the hard drive your OS is installed to is listed first.

Is the 2nd drive the one you have your OS on? If not, try selecting it and changing it to the HDD you have the OS on.

Uhg, what are you doing still running an IDE hard drive? Are both of your hard drives chained Master and Slave or on different controllers?

Change your first boot priority to your hard drive. PS-ST3500630A is your Seagate 500 GB IDE drive. If that's the one with Windows installed on it, select it, otherwise change your hard drive priority to the other one.

BIOS doesn't give a crap about things like "C drive' that's useless information. Is your C: drive 500 GB? What's the size of your other drive? Change your hard drive to first priority.
