Hello,
Well after putting together, taking apart and putting back together multiple times I got my first build to POST, show BIOs and all that jazz (very exciting)

However now my DVDrom won't open. the light comes on and I can manually open it (the little hole) and put my Windows disc in. However nothing happens.

In the BIOs the drive is there, but it just cannot boot from it. I tried changing the SATA connectors, the slots and fiddling around to the best of my ability.

Neither the drive door will open by pushing the eject button, nor will the Windows disc boot from it.

Any help would be appreciated.
