Select CD-ROM Boot Type?

During the Windows 7 installation you are greeted with this a few times:

Select CD-ROM Boot Type:
1.
2.

I don't see in my book this being mentioned.

Are you using a genuine Microsoft Windows DVD - not a copy or burned iso?

The disc I have is real. Windows 7 OEM disc. When I press 2 and then hit Enter it says:

Non system disk

But when I press 1 and then hit Enter the setup program goes normally.

I don't know if this will present itself when I load Windows 7 on my Asus board when I get it ready. But others have reported seeing this too.

How many cd/dvd drives are in the machine?
Guessing that maybe #2 was empty since the dvd was in the other drive?!?!?

Steve, a little Googling shows that this is actually common and has nothing to do with that.
