Hi guys,
I just finished a mitx rig. Here are the specs:
Phenom 955BE
980-GXM
Patriot Pyro SE 120GB
BD Drive

After everything is powered up and all, I put my Win 7 cd in and it just keeps on saying no bootable drive in the screen. It recognizes that I have a cd drive in there. I also tried another cd drive, but it still said "No Bootable Drive". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Not telling the BIOS to boot from the optical drive instead of the hard drive?

It gives a list of drives to boot on, and it does not show the Patriot Drive. I also pressed enter many times for the CD to boot in, but it just keeps on saying "No Boot Drive".

Silly me. Sorry for this unecessary thread. I should have checked the BIOS screen first than rely on the default screen. Anyways, I fixed the problem. Funny thing is that it should boot to CD after it does not recognize the other applications on the bios.

Thanks for the quick help.

Only if the optical drive is in the list of drives to check when booting. :)

Glad you got it working. :toast:
