I just got my last part for my PC and built it.. And it is now showing on the MB that there is a A2 code error, i looked it up in the manuel where it says it means IDE Detect... I just dont know what that means and what i am supposed to do.

(For "google is your friend" answears.. Tried it, didten find what i needed, to my understanding)

Did you have multiple drives hooked up when you booted? Try disconnecting them and fire it up again. It should take you to BIOS. If it does, hit the exit button and save with the default settings, then shut it down and hook up just the drive you plan on installing your OS on and your optical. When you start it up again, it should take you to the OS install menu.

Make sure while you're in your BIOS to set your boot priority to optical drive first. If you're doing a USB install, set the USB first and make sure the USB drive is plugged into a USB 2.0 port, not a USB 3.0. (Black USB port, not blue.)

Edit: A2, IDE Detect, error code means it's having trouble detecting or reading connected drives. This often occurs during initial boot of a new build if multiple drives are hooked up before an OS is installed.
