Hi guys, I'm new and I'm having problems booting from my dvd rom. I've tried EVERYTHING! This includes setting boot from dvd in bios and changing the jumper settings but still no luck. It is a genuine copy of windows, the only way to get it to boot from the dvd is to unplug the hard drive. I have an AMD Athlon 2500+ and an Asrock K74VTA Pro mothob. the hardrive is a hitachi and as far as i know the bios is up to date, any suggestions?

hi
So you have a dvd cd containing your Operating System that your dvd drive doesnt detect right?if so does your BIOS detect your dvd drive...meaning can you see your dvd drives name etc at post and in BIOS?
