This is my first build, got all my parts in and put together and im ready to install my os and try out my new pc. I put the disc in the drive and I keep getting this message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" Ive searched the web for the solution to this error but nothing they do works for me.

MOBO: Asus m5a78l-m usb 3.0
OS: Windows 7
 
Solution
You need to enter the BIOS and set the dvd drive as the first boot device .

If iys not listed then check you have both the power lead and SATA cable attached to the dvd drive
