That makes it sound like the BIOS doesn't think the CD is bootable but I'm not sure why. We'll need to try and collect more information from other sources to see if we can narrow it down (e.g. whether it happens on other vendors' motherboards or just Gigabyte, whether there are other combinations of SATA versus non-SATA optical drives that cause problems, etc). Just to collect as much information about this specific case as I can... Are you using CD media or DVD media? Is there a chance you could try the other type of media (e.g. if you're using CD media could you give DVD media a quick try?) just to eliminate that as one of the variables? --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-7KyvAiZb/3RzxI2ZJD7A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkn3BHEACgkQ/G14VSmup/apgwCfbzW5BmTCnY75aE7WBjhM/1Bg 41kAoJGKKo13EcRBt5mVEOawl79o3MFr =wOFY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-7KyvAiZb/3RzxI2ZJD7A--
