Trying to do new install of windows 8.1 on GM5259E with Intel motherboard E210882. After installing on first boot it goes to choose cd boot 1 or 2, I have boot sequence to boot to hard drive first and DVD drive second. I can not get past the choose cd boot 1 or 2. If I choose 1 it starts the install all over and if I choose 2 it tell me there are files missing. I have never seen anything like this, normally after first boot it just continues with install.

I don't know what I am doing wrong - I need help!
