Hello O Gurus,
I have recently built a computer system using a DFI Lanparty NF2 Ultra Rev B mainboard, a WD740GD SATA Raptor HDD, and a PX-712SA SATA DVD Burner. I'm now trying to install Windows on the machine, but alas... the DVD Drive is not booting. The system goes through POST, skips the drive and goes straight to "Invalid boot disk. Insert system disk and press ENTER to continue."
I've got the Hard Drive in SATA 0, the DVD Burner in SATA 1. I have tried numerous things to get this sucker to chug, including trying a million and a half combinations of the boot order/"Boot other device" option. Also, switching the SATA from regular to SATA-RAID with no luck.
The only thing I was able to do was connect an external CD-ROM via USB, which allowed me to boot PartitionMagic's DOS CD portion. From there I wasn't able to do much of anything... PartitionMagic booted me out to a command prompt after not finding any drives. This tells me that the CD should at least be working! If anybody has any ideas, I would be very greatful. Thanks!
