Why has my PC stopped booting from my C: drive?

[rggraham1947]

I recently started up my Windows XP PC, after several months of inactivity, and it wouldn't boot from my boot hard disk. I got a message saying:

"Verifying DMI Pool Data.......

Boot from CD:

DISK BOOT Failure"

I am able to force it to boot from the correct drive by going to the Boot Menu (F12) and selecting the correct hard drive.

How can I reset my boot priority permanently?
