I just finished building a new i7 machine last night. Today I went to go install the OS, and when I try to boot up with the Vista install DVD, I get the following error:
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
The boot order is definitely configured properly to boot from my DVD drive first.
I've tried taking out all drives except for my DVD and HDD I plan on installing to, which ends with the same result.
I updated my motherboard to the latest BIOS from EVGA before trying any installs, so out of date firmware probably isn't the issue.
UPDATE:
I've now successfully installed Ubuntu 9.04 and it boots Linux fine. I still have no luck with the Vista installer. Since I have a working boot drive now though, instead of getting the error above, when the DVD fails to boot, it boots the linux drive instead.
The only thing I've done differently with my install disks is used a CD for my Ubuntu install. Windos Vista requires I use a DVD.
My Hardware
■ Intel Core i7
■ EVGA X58 SLI Mobo
■ G.SKILL 6GB DDR3 RAM
■ WD VeliciRaptor 300GB HDD
■ LG 20X DVD Burner
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
