So I am setting up a new windows box with a MSI K8N Neo and an IDE hard drive All the hardware is recognized correctly in the BIOS, but when I restart and it tries to boot from CD, I get the following error message:

Verifying DMI Pool Data.....
Boot from CD :
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

I just recently used this exact same CD to install Windows on another machine of mine, and I don't understand why I am getting this message. I had previously had a SATA setup on this computer, but I yanked those parts out of it and I still can't figure out why my setup isn't working.

Any ideas? I don't have another windows CD, so I can't check that. Is there another OS I can boot from on a CD to test to make sure its not my windows CD?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Additionally, I have found that whatever CD rom Drive or cable I use on my Secondary Master IDE Channel does not work. The CD rom drive will click .. any ideas?
