He means "Are you able to get into CMOS?"
See below.
||Perhaps the removable drive

||so it can't boot?

I think the boy is onto something there
(though he didn't explain it so you could catch it).
|After I boot with the removable hard drive in place,
|my C:\ & D:\ hard drives are properly designated
|as confirmed by the correct size listed.

When the computer starts,
there will be a message displayed that says something like
**Hit F2 to enter Setup.**
Do what it says.
You will have to find the place in the CMOS configuration that specifies Boot Precedence
(probably called something very different).
Tell it to look at the C: drive FIRST when looking for an operating system.
Fed-up is saying that C: isn't 1st on the list
or maybe isn't on the list at all.
