Missing operating system

hey guys im new here and i have a problem with my hard drive i think. i
saw some similar problems on the form but not the same as mine. so i
built my computer yesterday and everything worked fine until today. when
i turned on the computer today, at the bottom of my screen, it says
missing operating system. i can still get into bios so i changed the
boot order to start from cd/dvd drive but even then, the same thing
comes up except this time it says something like: "boot from cd
rom....................Missing operating system" no matter what i do, it
just wont boot from the disk. oh and one thing to note, i dont have like
an actual OS disk. i have the "Windows Anytime Upgrade" disk. i
installed windows perfectly before with this disk...does the disk make a
difference? please help! you guys are my only hope before i RMA the hard
drive

Hi,

Have you checked how the BIOS is detecting and reading the drive?
