Dell Poweredge 840 Boot Issue

So I tried to boot my poweredge server the other day after a windows update and now it doesn't want to boot from the hard drive. I load the boot order from the bios and it says hard drive c is first but no disk name is listed next to it. I look at the sata drive section and it shows that it recognizes a hard drive in the first sata slot. It just tries to do a pxe boot which I am assuming is because it can't find the hard drive?I've never had it use pxe boot ever. I've plugged the drives into another computer and it loads just fine. I have tried resetting the bios with the battery and using the jumpers. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated

Just waiting for that next upgrade
