CD Drive won't recognise Windows Media Centre CD...
I have set the CD drive to boot first and tried to install Media Centre. But I keep getting the "Boot faliure. please insert system boot disk". The CD drive is set as Primary Master, by the way.
Any suggestions? There are a couple of things that might have something to do with it: The light on the Floppy drive stays on constantly. Asus A8N-E AMD Athlon x2 3800+ Corsair 2x 512MB PC3200 Sony CDRW/DVD Combi Maxtor DiamondPlus 10 80GB SATA II |

First off, be sure that your boot order in the BIOS sets the optical drive first. Insert the operating system disk into the drive. Also reverse your floppy drive cable and see what happens.
