Hey guys,
Ive just finished building my first computer and powered it up, ive gone into the BIOS and seen that everything is being picked up by the motherboard even my dvd drive which is saying its a ASUS DRW1814BLT, in the bios menu i am setting the dvd drive as boot option 1, i install my windows 8 disk, restart my pc and it boots straight to my old harddrive, which has windows 7 on it.
Ive even tried going into the bios setting and doing the boot override to boot straight to the dvd drive but it then just boots to the hardrive, on start up the dvd drive lights come on and i can hear it making noises, but it doesnt seem to be booting, i wanted to wipe and reformat my hardrive for windows 8.
the dvd drive is an asus quietrack its probably a couple of years old by now.
Ive also tried swapping the sata cables around from 3g2 to 3g1 etc, they arnt plugged into the 6g ports.
In the SATA config tab in the bios, its picking it up as ASUS DRW-18 ATAPI, in the advanced mode.
Cheers guys i tried to give as much info as possible for troubleshooting purposes.
