Removed DVD-rom drive PC won't boot
Chunce DeLeone:
I am buildign a JUKE and don't want a DVD-rom drive installed anymore. I used it to load the os but when i discconect it from the system it won't boot. How to I remove this DVD drive and allow the PC to boot up?
Ginsu Victim:
Did you check the jumper on the hard drive? Was it a master - slave setup?
JonProphet:
Check your BIOS for halt on errors. If it had set that you had a drive and now its gone. It will halt. Also, did you remove the floppy to? Check that as well.

The hard drive is actually a CF to SATA adapter so I didn't see a jumper on it, also the bios doesn't have no halt on errors. I am goign to try and update the bios, maybee a newer one has that option, intel atom 230

Some mobos look for certain SATA drives to be connected and if they aren't, it will halt. Check to see if that's the case.
