Hello. I have a little problem back over here. I just finished my first build and from what i've read the first time you turn your computer on the bios or post or whatever screen pops up. All i have here is just a black screen saying "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". Any suggestions? Where could be this problem? Any help highly appreciated.
 
That's normal. You're past the POST sequence and firmware initialization at that point. Once the firmware has performed its tasks its tries to find a bootable device to load and pass execution to. If it cannot find one, you will see that message. As soon as you pop the OS install disk into your optical drive or USB port and reboot it should go away. You may have to target the optical drive or USB device manually though. Once the OS is installed you should never see it again as long as the drive that the OS is installed on is in the boot sequence.
