So, I finally built my first computer. I inserted windows into my optical drive and started it up. Everything was perfect until when it asked for a boot drive there were no options. I think I may have set something in the bios, but the only thing I think I did was set my hard drive at a higher priority then my optical drive. Is it something I might have done in the bios to mess up the booting capability? Or could it just be my hard-drive?
