"Invalid boot diskette."

I recently installed Norton Save and Restore 2.0 After changing the boot
start in the bios back to HDD from CD-ROM, I started the computer and
received a message: "Invalid boot diskette. Insert boot diskette in A."

Having no boot diskette, I installed the recovery CD and the computer
started properly, but it requires the recovery CD every time I wish to boot.

Norton technical service disavows any knowledge or responsibility for this
problem.What do I have to do to have the computer boot without having the
recovery disk installed?
