So I finally got my pc to turn on and post and connect to the TV via HDMI. I inserted the windows 8 disc into the disc drive to boot, and booted. It should have gone right into installation.
However, it did not, and instead showed a message saying "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". So I pressed a key, and the message kept layering.
So, I went into the BIOS and decided to do a boot override to boot directly to that optical drive, and the same message showed up. I really don't understand and I could use some assistance! Could it be a problem with my optical drive? Or with something else? I checked the boot sequence and there is only one item there, so either the hard drive or the optical drive is not registering.
