Multiple OS question

Long story, but I installed Windows XP Pro on an SATA HDD. Already had Windows 2000 Pro installed on an IDE HDD.

So when I would turn the computer on, it would ask me which OS to boot from, which was fine. However, I took the HDD that has XP Pro out of the PC, yet it still asks me which OS to boot from. I have played around in BIOS and cant find anything to fix this. It is set up to boot from HD first and BIOS shows only one HD connected. If I select to boot from XP, it says it can't, which is obvious. How can I get it to boot normally from Windows 2000 without asking with OS to boot from?

Specs
P4 3.0 GHz
1 GB Ram Ultra
430W Thermaltake PSU
Lite-On DVD RW
BIOSTAR P4M80-M4 Socket 478 VIA P4M800 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
