Ok, to answer your question, GrfxArt, yes I did have it boot from my CD-rom first. My computer almost acts like it begins to boot up from the CD, like my screen flashes a few times, which it doesnt normally, but then just loads windows normally. Well, I tried putting my hard-drive as my master and my CD drive as slave, both mine or my friends CD drive did not work . I tried switching up the IDE ports, still same result.
