Default can't boot from hard drive

I have a system consisting of
chaintech 9cjs motherboard
1GB memory
2 sata 250 GB hard drives
Plextor Px712-A cd/dvd burner
Adaptec SCSI 39160 card
Nvidia GEforce FX5200 video card from Chaintech
Travan TR$ SCSI tape drive.
Windows XP home edition

The system will not boot from the hard drive. If i put a bootable CD (either windows XP or OS/2) the system willl allow me to either boot from the CD or from the hard drive. Without a bootable CD in the Plextor, the system just sits there. I can also boot from a bootable floppy disk. Is there any way to fix this problem?
