I'm new to this forum, diagnosing my first build, and am still learning the basics, so bare with me kindly please.
My bios won't read the legal retail copy of windows 7 home premium.
In storage configuration, I have AHCI selected. Additionally, I tried all combinations of boot orders/drive disabling between my seagate barracuda 500 gb and my RW dvd drive. Regardless of which drive is selected to boot from, I still get the same error paraphrased: "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media into selected boot device and press a key"
I noticed if I have the hdd selected (boot order) and hit a key, the error message pops up immediately. However, when the disc drive is selected and I insert the w7 disc, it takes 5 seconds before the error message pops up again.
Both hdd and disc drive are connected via SATA3 ports.
My build:
Asrock z75 pro
Intel i5 3570k
GTX 660
Seagate Barracuda 500 gb
4 gb Corsair Vengance
Rosewill Hive 650 W
