Title pretty much says it all. It skips the cd boot sequence completely when my Win7pro full version disc is in the rom. If I change the cd to say the erase cd, or a WD setup disc, it reads those cds just fine when booting up. I put the Win7 disc in, it skips right past the rom and attempts the next boot device. Dell 2400 Dimension, 2.66, 1.5GB memory, 80gb WD drive. Trying to install Win7pro 32 bit. I'm told you need video drivers to handle DX9, and this MB doesn't have that capability. But I see tons of posts of 2400 installs, with driver issues AFTER it's installed. I've dabbled with everything I could in the bios, and not sure why it's not installing. Any help would be appreciated.

Wrong words due to frustration. Win 7 dvd, not burned copy. Have had 2 successful installs prior to this.

Oh Gees, I'm not thinking at all. I think it's a cd rom in the machine, and is it correct to say I need a dvd player to install this?
