Reboot and Select Proper Boot device or insert Boot media in select Boot device and press a key

Hello,

I have kubuntu on my laptop and now I decided to switch to Windows 7. I made the bios settings properly (first choice is boot from cd\vd) but I see the error

" reboot and select proper Boot device or insert Boot media in select Boot device and press a key "

I have tried CD and USB in which the bootable Windows 7 exists but the same error occurs. It is also worth to note that CD or USB can be seen as a removable media when kubuntu session is opened.

Could anyone tell me the solution ?

thanks

DESCRIPTION

       amttool is a perl script which speaks SOAP to Intel AMT managed machines.  It can query informations about the machine in question and also
       send some commands for basic remote control.

       host is the hostname or IP address of the machine amttool should control.  command is an optional command.

       You must set fill AMT_PASSWORD environment variable with the AMT password.

       For more inforamtions on Intel AMT check amt-howto(7).

	      the  netinfo  command  prints.  ip is the IPv4 address, mask the netmask, gw the default gateway, dns1 and dns2 are the DNS Servers.
	      If no IP configuration is specified the tool tries to configure the machine in shared mac address mode with dhcp, otherwise in sepa-
