Lenovo Thinkcentre M73e won't boot from HDD

I own (at the time I write this) two Lenovo Thinkcentre M73e:
- with a Intel Pentium CPU
- with a Intel i3 CPU
The Problem
The PC kept telling me:
1962 No Operating System Found
i3 (Model XXX)
The i3-CPU-PC won't boot, in any circumstance, the newly installed Linux. BUT, it would boot if I booted from CD first and chose to boot from the harddisk from there.
I've read countless Webpages..but nothing worked.
= Pentium (Model XX) This one worked just fine. Installed, booted, all working great. When I was debugging the i3-issue, I switched disks, and then this machine also ran into the same problem.
What fixed it for me: I set the MBR-flag in YAST Partitioner. Or did I remove it? Dang, don't remember. Must try it again and write it down here.
