Hi all, I'm having a slight problem with loading windows 7 on my new system.
After the initial boot up a screen comes up after hitting install for win7 that the cd/dvd cannot be found. Has anybody run into this problem? An another problem I'm having is that the lan is inactive at this point. Something in the Bios that I may be missing? Everything is detected in the Bios, haven't played with the overclocking yet. Not my first build so this is a strange problem.
Thanks in advance.

System:
Extreme Hero VIII motherboard
Intel I7 6700 4g processor
Corsair ddr 4 32g memory
Gigabyte Geoforce 970 video
evo Samsung850 1tera ssd

No, the bios automatically uses this for raid only. Thanks anyway. I'm thinking the motherboard is defective, I used my old hard drive pre-loaded with win7 and after boot up I still get the no cd/dvd response.

ASUS contacted me today and looks like they want me to flash the bios. I won't have time until this weekend and hopefully I can use my thumb
drive. I'll keep you posted.
