You might need to look into the computers EFI setup options. I had a machine that recently had the on board battery go dead, and on restart it would not boot from the hard disk?? The setup had somehow gone to a default setting, in which it was set for the primary boot to be windows EFI?? Machine had never had windows installed and wasn't setup for EFI boot with linux. Just changed the setting, and actually went ahead and disabled the windows EFI option completely. So, might be a setting that has it looking for windows EFI only by default. Took me a while to find option..
Good Luck.
