I put together a new computer recently - all new parts. No operating system has been installed on this system before. I was able to boot the computer initially and with the Windows 8.1 Pro CD in my Blu-Ray player and begin the install process. Around 73%, I heard the Blu-Ray player start to have trouble reading (that repetitive spinning sound). The install failed and when I tried to have it read the Windows 8.1 CD, it couldn't. When I reboot my computer, it won't recognize the Windows 8.1 CD as a boot disk and just gives me the error "An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system."
The only thing I have hooked up right now as far as drives go is my SSD (SATA1) and Blu-Ray (SATA2). I moved them from SATA 2 and SATA 4 respectively, but this did not fix anything. The Windows 8.1 CD reads just fine in my other computers, so I know the media isn't bad.
What do I do? It seems like Windows started to install drivers for my Blu-Ray (LG) and it stopped working. Should I create a boot/install USB that I've been reading about?
