    Your BIOS doesn't boot a particular file system, it boots a disk. You can change which disk it boot first via the quick boot menu or BIOS setup menu.

    BIOS knows nothing of FAT or NTFS it is only concerned with the bootloader.

    yeah +1. it could be that the HDD is not being seen by the bios? can you check this? if it is detecting the disk and it still wont boot its either a disk or OS problem
