    It sounds like your system got loaded on your D drive. Try installing the D drive only in the master position on IDE 1 and see if it boots. You did have a working PC before you changed things didn't you?? Your system files have to be somewhere.

    at the bottom of the screen of the bios it tells you how to change things as bioses are different in boards & versions of bioses.

    take a look in the bios under advanced bios features in bootup sequence to see if netcard is there & disable it.
