There is only next sugestion: if C: lives on one disk with D&E
partitions, then there is only two reasons for such behavior - some weird
bootmanager (randomly?!) hides your C: parition (makes its type unknown for
FD) or reading from disk is unrealiable (by some reason, readed MBR image
contains broken parition type ID). There is no reasons for some time-out,
which is applicable only for hardware or mutiprocess system. Or, if C: lives
on different disk, than D&E, then this your first disk is broken (because
readed unreliably by BIOS).
In any case, I can't understand, how you boot, if your C: drive with OS
disappear?!
