That's normal when your Systems BIOS is setup to boot to
your A: drive first, it searches for the bootrecord on A:
and because there's no disk with bootrecord in A: it then
finds it on C: which is normal Most systems are set that
way by default, they boot from A: first then C: and then
D: You can go into your ssytem bios and change it to boot
from any drive you want but as long as you don't have a
bootdisk in A: when you starup it won't matter.
