Hi Guys, any help appreciated... I know its an old mobo but it won't seem to boot anything but a windows xp install disk.. I have tried to boot windows 7, but get a boot manager error something about BCD... also tried to boot ubuntu and that also fails.. where am i going wrong? i have formatted the drive and also formatted the mbr... the motherboard has no "actual" pins to reset the cmos just solder points so im guessing bridge it with a paper clip or something.. but.. will that fix my issues? i have tried booting with windows 7 usb and dvd both fail..
