Hello,
I have recently bought a
GA-880GM-UD2H Socket AM3 880G mATX Motherboard (Detailed Specs:http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0334912) with Corsair DDR3 4g memory, 1TB Hitachi Deathstar (deskstar), AMD quad core CPU@3ghz, and Samsung DVD R
I installed Win7 x64 on it from the DVD drive. Once that was done, I wanted to install Ubuntu and make a dual boot sys. However, this machine simply will not boot from CD.
I have changed the boot priority in BIOS and hitting F12 during boot up still shows HDD as 1st pref. in booting.
Upon selecting CDROM in the F12 menu, the screen flashes LOADING OPERATING SYSTEM for about 1 sec. and then simply ignores the CD and boots into Win -7 from HDD.
I have tried several Ubuntu disks (all work) as well as tried loading Win-7 DVD.
None of this works.
Any ideas? Is there something else I can do in the BIOS?
