Installed board etc - get bluescreen on startup

ShadowFold · Jan 23, 2008, 11:15 PM

I just installed my board into my case and all that and now I have my CD drive hooked up with Windows XP in the drive and for some reason its not asking me if I want to boot with the disk.. I thought I formatted my drive before I installed it on my new mobo but I guess not, it starts loading XP for like 2 seconds then blue screens me.. so how do I reformat my drive since I cant boot from the disc?

JrRacinFan · Jan 23, 2008, 11:18 PM

In BIOS setup, check your boot priority and make sure your cd-rom is higher "in the chain".

ShadowFold · Jan 23, 2008, 11:19 PM

Alright its like the 5th slot.. how do I make it #1?

JrRacinFan · Jan 23, 2008, 11:20 PM

the "+" or "-" keys. really going to have to refer to your bios screen for that.

Jan 23, 2008, 11:23 PM

Sometimes you have to hit enter to "engage" into the option (i.e priority 1, 2 etc) and then select from a list, or at least thats what I have had to do.

So go down to priority 1, hit enter, choose from list, (should recoghnize the devices you have hooked up), select the CD-ROM, or cd/dvd option that shows.
Tinker around with it, it will move to #1.

ShadowFold · Jan 23, 2008, 11:25 PM

I got it,... Im an idiot somone virtually slap me lol

spud107 · Jan 23, 2008, 11:26 PM

JrRacinFan · Jan 23, 2008, 11:36 PM

LOL .. Glad to help!

spud107 · Jan 23, 2008, 11:39 PM

remember the floppy raid driver if needed, i had to reinstall windows twice today since i forgot it the first time,
once the drive is formatted its pretty straightforward from there,

JrRacinFan · Jan 23, 2008, 11:40 PM

I don't think he's doing a RAID setup tho spud.

EDIT Oh hey Shadowfold, I almost bought the same LCD monitor you got,today. I went with a Samsung for $20 more.

spud107 · Jan 23, 2008, 11:59 PM

i was only using a single sata drive, couldnt boot into windows without the xp disk in drive,
just thought id mention the drivers just in case,

JrRacinFan · Jan 24, 2008, 12:05 AM
