Windows install problem

[johnstormsr]

Hello,
i have been trying to install windows vista on a board i just got(it was used). evry time i try it will just sit there and try reading the dvd drive and do nothing. i can put the dvd and hard drive in a difrent computer and it works fine.

Go into the BIOS and set the boot priority to DVD burner to install windows and after the install change it back to the hard drive.

i have tryed that and it will just try to read the disk. i have also tryed using a hard drive that already has vista on it (my test drive) and it will bluescreen and reboot.

It's probably a defective motherboard then. RMA
