Hey,
I am in the midst of building a computer. I got everything put together this morning and went to install Xp this afternoon, but I can't get the thing to boot to my CD drive. I configured BIOS like my motherboard manual said, set the BIOS boot order to boot to CD-Rom first, popped in the XP CD and rebooted. No Dice. Every time i start it, after it gives me the "hit DEL to enter BIOS" message, it goes to a "Intel UNDI" program, says something about my ethernet controller, and says "DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". I have tried putting the XP disk in at this point but it still won't work. The only think I can think of that might be causing this, is an "ESC for boot options" message that pops up when I start the PC. When I go to this menu, it says "Select a first boot device" and lists,
Removable
Hard Disk
CD-ROM
I cannot change the order of this list. I am assuming this is the boot order that the PC is using instead the the one in BIOS?
Thanks,
Lane
