Well, I went to boot up the PC this morning to try the idea of disabling the IDE controller, rebooting, and then enabling again. However, when I got into BIOS I noticed that it actually detected the hard drive. I was like what the heck?! So I go and try to boot up only to get the same thing ("No Boot Disk"). So I then go back into BIOS and see that the boot sequence was all set to LAN and Floppy. So I change number 1 to Hard Disk and it boots up perfectly.

The really weird thing is that I did nothing different to make it work. And I know for a fact that it wasn't detecting either IDE drive in the BIOS and this morning it suddenly did. I really I have no idea what happened, but thanks for your guys' help.

Now of course this is without the CD Drive installed as I was doing most of my testing without it, thinking somehow that is the problem. I am going to try and put the CD Drive back in and I will let you know how it goes.
