Hi everyone I'm new today and have a problem with my antiquated computer that usually works very well, but unfortunately I left a CD in the drive when I last closed down the computer and it went straight to the CD to try and start up the computer. I have 3 drives, cd, 3-1/2 and 5-1/4 and somewhen I changed the A & B drives around in BIOS, but forgot to change my boot up disk to recognise this so now it won't work. Can anyone assist. It is a custom built computer which a very nice Chinese gentleman made for me when I lived in Indonesia some 10 years ago. Normally it works fine and has all my embroidery programs I need.
I have access to another modern computer, but this doesn't help me with what I need. Would be grateful for any ideas on how to get the old machine up and running.

Can you get to this point again?
Even machines 10 years old have a lot of different options.
One of them should be C:, which would boot the OS off the primary hard disk.
