Noob Q--although this is a mystery.
New build powers up. Insert Asus Z87 pro start up CD into new Asus DVD player as boot drive. Fails to boot.
Get a INT 13: 08 error which has something to do with a boot interruption. DOS appears.
Insert Windows XP CD hoping to install windows. this CD works to the point of loading windows, when it gets to the "load" portion of the Windows CD, I get a system error. ASus CD player seems to be working.
Wits end. Thought I could download from Asus and use flash drive to boot. All I can do there is download drivers and install after windows loads.
Central problem is system failure to recognize Asus boot CD. Any ideas on how to get this system running?
Haswell 4670/stock heat sink
Asus Z87 Pro MB
Corsair Vengence 1866 8 x 2
Intel 520 256 mb year old SSD
New Asus CD player
Seasonic 500 W PS--Using 5 yr. old that was top of line in 2008
Office system--this happened on first boot and continues. Any help appreciated.
