Question about startup

When I turn on my computer, it obviously tries to boot up. Well, it gets to a point where it says "Reboot and select proper device or Insert Boot Media in Selected Boot Device". I've figured out that if I push control+alt+delete and then continue to tap delete that it will skip this and go to my desktop just as normal. However, this has never been a problem before and I was wondering how to fix this problem so I don't have to act ghetto and continue to tap delete to make it work. How can I get rid of this message? Thanks.

By the way, is there a way to make the below information automatic so you don't have to type it in every time you post? Thanks again.

By chance you dont have a floppy in the drive when booting
 
Do you have a CD in the CD drive?

It seems, (and I am no expert), that your computer is coming across a drive that is higher up the boot order than your Hard Drive that has media in it...
 
the cd and floppy is not the problem if you have a disk in there you will get a different kind of error, i dont suppose the computer just did this did it? or were u re formating or something
