When it starts it shows the HD's in the list. then the next screen it says "Detecting drives, Done. No drives detected"
then that goes away and it shows my DVD drives name there. Next it says "Boot failure, please insert system disk and press enter" I put in windows CD, press enter and it just repeats put system disk in.

Help please!!
I went through the sticky on top, it's none of that.

I think I found the problem with your response. I dont have a sata DVD Drve, does it only use sata for DVD? I have mine plugged into the IDE. should it still work with IDE?
