Well! Thanks again for your advice.
I have it booting straight to the HDD now but I'm none the wiser really!
The BIOS on this machine is very basic and there is only one place to set the boot order/priority. This was always set to look for the HDD first (see image link in my first post)
HOWEVER after your last reply I just tried tweaking some of the (very few) other options and found that changing the Boot Speed from [Normal] to [Fast] did the trick and you go straight in. Turn it back off though and the original problem returns.
But hey - who cares? It works now!

As I said before, you might want to review the boot priority settings (which is not exactly the same as having this HDD as first / bootable one). For example, you might have the network (e.g. for network booting by means of pxelinux) with a higher priority than the first HDD, which is not what you want / need.
