New Build: Can't install OS. HELP!!

[Trascall]

I have already set my CMOS to the defult settings, set my time/date. I changed the boot order so that the CD/DVD Rom will boot first, then my hard drive so I can install my OS.
When I boot up I get the following message:

Media test failure check cable.
Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent.
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

The system disk (Windows XP SP2) is already in the CD/DVD Rom. And when I re-insert the disk the system can't seem to find it.

ECS nForce 570 SLIT-A
Intel Core 2 Duo ES 6400
Antec Smart Power 2.0 500 Watts
eVGA 7600 GT
Sony DDR 820 DVD
1 GB of Kingston DDR2 667 Ram

what type of HD are you using? SATA or IDE
If SATA, make sure it is plugged into the first SATA socket/if IDE set jumper to CS and put at the end of the cable.

Im using a Seagate SATA 7200.9 250 GB drive. Its plugged into the first SATA header, and still nothing

Is the hard drive jumpered to CS (Cable Select), as Flanzig already asked?

[flanzig1]

NB: the HD is SATA, he probably needs to set the DVD jumper to CS.

I've tried the Master setting and also the CS(Cable Select) jumper, and neither worked. I know the DVD drive works, I just used it in another system today set on CS.

Perhaps the XP disc is damaged? Try it in another PC.

[Trascall]

That was my first thought. But the disk works in my other computer. I even switched the opitical drives. But I recieved the same error message.

Try a different IDE cable. If that doesn't work, RMA the motherboard, the IDE controller is defective. We don't recommend ECS boards, by the way.
