PC Setup:
Q6600 G0
aBit In9
4x1gb OCZ DDR 2 Gold rev2
PNY 6800GTS
700w OCZ gamexstream
36gb raptor
160gb wd caviar se
BIOS v7.3.13


My computer will boot Windows XP Pro ONLY if the BIOS boot priority has the CD-ROM Drive set to first AND the Windows XP installation CD is inserted into the drive.

After POST, it goes:

Boot from CD:...
Push any key to boot from Disc....
(I have to wait, and cannot push any key)
then it boots.

How do I fix this? I've tried resetting CMOS, setting priority to my HDD. I've tried completely formatting my HDD and reinstalling.

Have you installed the correct SATA/RAID drivers?

Yeah, my drivers are installed from the mfr's included drivers. My computer wasn't doing this when it first started running.
