I just got MSI 845PE Max (MS-6580 ver2.0)
I need help. I can?t boot from floppy or CD-rom.

I did set boot sequence from the BIOS, and the booting process says it is seeking boot disk or boot CD on the screen.
However, it does not actually seek boot disk or boot CD at all, I know this since I don?t see any access lump or hear sound from floppy or CD-rom drive.

However, booting from IDE0 HDD does work.
So I installed windows 98 on that HDD using another machine and placed that windows98 installed HDD in the box with MSI845PE Max to start Windows.
This did work. After windows started, I have an access to CD-rom but still not Floppy drive.

I ensured both floppy drive and CD-rom work.
I checked that the BIOS does recognize the both drives and every option deal with booting in the BIOS, but it just doesn?t boot from floppy or CD-rom.

Anyone have idea?
