Ok, got all my components installed today. This is my first build.

Abit IP35 pro
Q6600
LiteOn dvdrw
Seagate 250g HDD

The computer will post and I can get into the bios. When i choose where to boot from, I put the SATA CDrom as the 1st option. The problem is when I try to install Windows, it says "Boot from CD: Disk boot failure, insert CDrom and press enter? Am I doing something wron?
 
If you burned the OS, try another copy. If it is legit, try another copy. Basically, this should be a problem physically with the disc.
 
hardrive has below 8mb of swapable ( or equalivant ) of space left, Is the harddrive new or used? Are u able to load windows, then reboot then it gives that problem? Are you using an original windows disc?
