Answer» OS: Windows XP, service pack 3
Motherboard: Asus K8V SE Deluxe
Hard Drive Type: SATA connection (No IDE drive were used)
DVD Type: Memorex DVD-CD-ROM drive
1) I went into the BIOS and make sure that the PC boot up from the hard drive.
2) Once the PC is up and running, I installed a software on a CD-ROM.
3) After installation, I removed the CD-ROM and reboot. When boot up the computer
won 't boot up from the hard drive, but expecting to boot up from a CD-ROM.
I had to do CONTROL-ALT-DELETE and then it will boot up from the hard drive.
In short:
It does not matter which software I installed. After the software installation, the first
reboot does not work, so I had to reboot the second time before the PC will boot up
properly.
Alternatively, after the software installation is done, I could turned off the computer and
then turn it back on and then it will boot up from the hard drive. What software ?
System MECHANIC 6.0
Fix-it Utilities 7.0
Nero
K8V SE Deluxe Mother board driver
and any other software.
Also, If I were to put in a CD-ROM into the Memorex drive just to LOOK at the content of it
the PC would not boot it up correctly when I reboot.

While these softwares define themselves as bloatware/crapware cleaners, they are however the mother of trouble makers when it comes to OPTIMIZING your PC performance. The BOOTING problem might have COME after installing these registry cleaners which requires you to scan and reboot.
