How can I solve a 'reboot and select a proper boot device' error after an installation from a live CD?

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 from a live CD. Ubuntu 12.04 is the only operating system on my pc.

My boot settings in the BIOS are:

  1. boot device CD
  2. boot device hard drive.

I installed Ubuntu without any problems. BUT my system will not boot without my live CD.

Every time I try it says :

Reboot and select a proper boot device.

What should I do? I ran a boot repair and I have the URL to paste here .

You should try making the hard drive the primary boot device if you want to boot from it instead of the CD. Set 1 to HDD, and 2 to CD and see if it makes a difference.
