Check your bios boot order and ensure the proper hard drive is set first.  It's the same as hitting f12 and selecting one, only in your bios settings you can set the default.

Okay..... I can still boot into windows. I have to press f12 and load it from that menu but it will load. Any way I can restore the laptop to the way it was when I first got it and then I'll put 17.3 on. Any comments on what I can do?

I messed up. I installed mint18 on my external drive but mint18 is not quite ready for prime time so I figured I would put mint 17.3 on. Well, durring installation I told it to put grub on the external drive. now I can't boot unless the external drive is plugged in. I need the port the external is plugged into because that is the only USB port it will boot from and I need that port  for the thumb drive. So  my question is how do I install grub to sda1......

Mint won't boot now! How do I RESTORE WINDOWS SO i CAN DO THIS AGAIN?
