OS won't load automatically on startup [View all]

BIOS/FIOS page for loading OS should have blinking cursor flush left, but instead it is one space right so OS doesn't load.

My workaround is F12>Hard Disc> (top option).

I'm unversed in MS-DOS, so my question is how can I backspace that blinking underline cursor in the first screen so OS loads automatically?
