Hi iam hope some body can help me

Ive just finished building a new computer and everything went fine but about 3 days after it was up and runing i recived my internal card reader.

I installed it and every think semt fine but after in stall of the card reader every time i do a restart the computer switchs off when it comes back on it is not booting from the hard drive it is trying to boot from the dvd drive.

I have unpluged the dvd drive and tryed again but it will still not try and boot from the hard drive but if i switch the computer off all togeather and then restart it it boot from the hard drive.

I have even tryed a system restore and that has not helped.

So any help or suggestions would be greatful

by the way i have removed the card reader

thank you in advance

did you check your bios and make sure the harddrive is set for your first boot drive?
are thay ide drives ? if so you have to set them up as (master and slave) the harddrive being the master drive..
