Won't boot from the disk for install
I just put in a new motherboard ECS K7S5A Pro, WD 60G HDD, and CDRW. I've partitioned and formatted the hard drive and it seems good. When I put my Win ME Startup Disk into A:, it will boot, I select w/ CD support, it starts to load a CD driver by Oak Technologies, then stops. The CD won't work so I can't install Win ME from the CDRom. What do I do?

Go into bios and set it to boot from cd drive first, then floppy, then hard drive. Insert cd and reboot.

Make sure the CD-RW or CD-ROM drive is jumpered properly for the kind of IDE cable you're using. Master or slave if you're using a 40 wire IDE cable. CS or CSel if you're using a 80 wire IDE cable.
Make sure the red stripe is to pin 1 on the motherboard and drive. Does that CD-ROM work in another computer? Have you tried another CD-ROM in this computer?  Cricket

Things are fixed!
I tried a different boot disk and everything is loaded and working fine now.
Thanks for all your suggestions! |
