Windows 8 Boot Error Remove Disks - Please Help

Ok let me explain my situation and hopefully someone smarter than me can tell me what to do.

I have a Samsung 700T (tablet) for work running Windows 8.1.

I connected via USB a HP Laser Jet 400 printer. After connecting I received an error. I researched it and found it was due to HP's Smart Install. The Tablet recognized the printer initially as a USB Mass Storage device and the drivers conflicted with it. Once I turned off the Smart Install on the Printer, everything loaded fine and printed fine. No problem here. HOWEVER!!! In My Computer, I showed a HP CD ROM as an accessible drive which was weird since I obviously didn't have a CD ROM hooked up. I figured it was due to the smart install. I didn't think anything of it and that it would clear itself since no CD or drive was present.

Fast forward,

I had to reboot my tablet to allow other updates to finish. Upon restarting I get the error "Remove Disks or other Media. Press any key to restart"

There is obviously nothing in/hooked up to my tablet so there is no media. I believe the OS is viewing the HP CD as still in the drive and is not proceeding to boot.

Please help. Note, I obviously can't load windows since it won't boot, so I don't believe I have any way of ejecting or deleting the CD or drive which has been suggested to me by about 5 people now.

P.S. I am familiar with BIOS but can't seem to find anything there to help me past this error.

Thanks!
