Sounds like you have something set to boot before the HDD maybe a usb device?

Do you have any flash drives plugged into the computer? If so does removing them solve the issue?

As the other poster mentioned resetting the bios should solve that as it will reset the boot order.

Alternatively you can access the bios on most machines by hitting either esc or f2 or sometimes the delete key it differs depending on your bios.
