Long story short, my Coolermaster HSF V8 died, replaced it with a Silver Arrow Cooler HSF last night. I had to remove my entire motherboard and all connections to install this massive cooler. (thing lasted about 2 years and pc setup has as well). When doing the install I also removed the battery, to avoid any issues.

After install, I booted, set CD (1st boot), SSD (2nd boot), set my drive to ACHI (also tried IDE). All beeps were normal boot, but drive is not boot!? I know the OS is installed and working properly on the drive. I get something like

"no bootable media" message.

Anything I should try? Here is my pc setup

Motherboad = asus p6T-Deluxe V2
SSD = intel SSD X25-M

run a boot cd followed by a partion manager and ensure that the OS partition on your drive is "Active"
