I just assembled a new system and when I attempt to use the CD-ROM to install Windows 7 I'm getting that error "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device". This entire system is new, straight out of boxes from Newegg..
I've built one other system, and I used the same Win7 disk with no problems.
The system in question:
i5 2500k
ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 mobo
Patriot Pyro SSD 60GB
ASUS CD-rom drive, Sata
G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1333
Corsair CX430 PSU
I've checked and rechecked boot order, I can set the boot order in BIOS or press F11 and bring up the boot menu and tell it to boot from the CD-ROM, neither works. I set the SATA config to IDE, no luck. Tried setting it to AHCI for giggles and nothing either. When the screen that reads "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device" pops up I re-insert the Win7 CD and press a key, the CD-ROM will start to spin up a little but then just kinda stop, then the same prompt pops up.
I've Googled the problem and it seems a lot of people have had similar issues but no specific case seemed to apply to me. I'm curious if the mobo doesnt have a driver to run this CD-ROM, when I enter BIOS the mobo recognizes the drive and after the drive's name it says "ATAPI". Maybe this newer mobo doesn't support the ATAPI interface, is that even possible??? I do have a bootable Linux thumb drive which I can use to boot from and could install linux so the the SSD seems to be good to go. I don't currently have a large enough thumb drive to make a bootable Win7 thumb drive, and I'd like my CD-ROM to work.. Plus this is just super annoying to me.
Any pointers?
