You have to change the order in the BIOS usually accessed by hitting del 
when you are booting up but some computers have different ways of 
entering the BIOS. When you are there it is usually the second on the 
list after the one that gives you your drives and your time. You should 
see it marked as boot order or something similar and you can choose any 
drive you prefer to boot to first and eliminate any you don't want on 
the list. Then you press f10 or save and exit.
