Manually boot the OS by selecting the particular OS Hard disk and then the appropriate boot loader file similar to the way it was done for booting using OVMS DVD. If booting starts successfully, then add a new boot option using the BOOT Menu while starting the system. Also delete the one created during OVMS Installation. Finally change the boot order and put the newly created boot option at the top.
