Hello everyone! I posted a while back about installing an SSD and getting Win7 on it. Well, I have managed to get a bootable disc to install Windows 7, however when I i try to boot from my DVD drive, all it says is "Reboot from proper boot device or put in proper boot media to selected boot device and press any key"

The issue would be, that the bootable disc is in the DVD drive, the DVD drive is set as the 1st and only option to boot from in BIOS, the HDD is unconnected from SATA and Power, and I have double checked with PowerISO that the disc is bootable. I have run out of ideas as what the issue may be, any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

Also, I wasn't quite sure which forum this belonged in, but since I was dealing with an SSD, I figured storage was a good place to start.

Ive used the tool from Microsoft's website and PowerISO to burn the bootable DVD.
