I have installed a new motherboard, cpu, ram and sata dvd drive. I did a search in the forums and didn't find the question. I'm sure its out there somewhere.
My question is. Since I am booting the motherboard for the first time with the dvd as my first boot device. Since the Sata DVD drive will be the first boot device and is new also. Will it boot up. Or do I have to install drivers for the new SATA DVD drive for it to read my motherboards installation CD to work at all.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I am waiting for my new power supply to get here. I ordered it after I installed all the new parts I bought then couldn't plug in my main power to the motherboard. The new motherboard has a 24 pin connection and my old power supply had a 20 pin connection: lololol
Here is what I bought from newegg and have installed ( the 600wat PS is on the way.)
