DISK BOOT FAILURE

Here's the situation:

We turned on one computer today and it gave a non-system disk error. I
thought maybe the HD had failed so I hooked it up to my computer and
booted with my regular drive. It did not recognize it. I plugged into
different IDE and it showed the 'broken' drive on the startup, but once
WIN2000 was loaded, it no longer showed the drive in explorer.
So, I unhooked the drive and went to startup my computer again and I
got this:

"Non-system disk or disk error
Replace and Press any key when ready"

I hit enter and the same message popped up. I hit enter again and this
pops:

"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"

I press enter once more and the machine BOOTS UP AS NORMAL! The only
HD in the machine is my standard SATA which has never given problems.
I have a CDROM too (no floppy), but I didn't change any BIOS settings,
so I don't think it's trying to boot from there first.

any ideas?? thanks

don't know why it was looking at the Imation card reader first, but
