Repair Install may fix your issue.

Mark: as a disk operating system it allows for the order of disks
searched to be changed.

For example, if a bootable CD is put in the CD drive it will require
that BIOS looks at the CD drive BEFORE the hard drive otherwise BIOS
sends the computer straight the the first drive (the one with highest
priority in BIOS).

If this makes sense all you need do is fine-tune that sense into do-able
actions.

On the other hand, if it makes no sense at all or leaves you feeling
petrified it is better to secure the services of a qualified/experienced
computer engineer IMO

That is one of the good things about a Repair Installation, booting into
Windows is not a prerequisite or even necessary:
