Okay, I built my first computer yesterday and everything works. It starts up and all but then when I insert the windows XP CD, there lies the problem. It keeps saying something like "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press enter"..or something like that :P My friend told me to press f8 on start and select the CD Drive to boot but then when I press f8, I only see floppy and hard drive. At first I had the wrong wire connected, but after I found out I used the correct wire to connect the CD Drive to the motherboard. I also set the CD Drive to master using the jumpers on the back of it. I don't know what's wrong :/ It "looks" like I did everything correctly...but then again, I probably didn't since it won't work :(

Can anyone help me? Thanks

Welcome to PCMech.

Try jumpering your disc drive to Cable Select instead.

Have you selected CD drive to boot first in the BIOS?

Thank you VERY much =)
The problem was that I had to set the jumper onto Cable Select rather than master.
