To fix this error, restart your Mac and hold down  option key, after hearing chime on booting. If you don't want to install windows, then select the Mac Recovery partition. Then from the menu on the top, select the boot disk option and select the drive in which Mac is present. Restart and enjoy...

In both cases you will be able to boot normally.
