Could the jumper not be set correct despite the fact the BIOS is reading the drive?

Re: Re: Newly built PC- unable to read OS? I'm using a burned copy of windows I got from a relative. Could this be the problem? It boots automatically in the computer I'm using to type this message. Thanks for your help.

I can get to the BIOS just fine. But when I try starting up with windows in the CD ROM it fails to read it. I made sure the CD ROM drive is the first to be read in BIOS. Is there anything that needs to be done before installing an OS? I'm new at building so even those things obvious to you...

Yes, the computer boots to AMD screen. I have the HDD set as Primary Master and the CD ROM set as secondary master.

Any help, input or comments would be greatly appreciated..

When I start my system up I get the following message: "Press Tab to show post screen, Del. to enter setup". I can enter the setup, no problem as long as the HDD isn't plugged in. When it is connected pressing Delete or Tab will do nothing. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Did you eat the hole pizza? Aww, man...I'm not worthy :p

Yep, that did it Ste. I pulled out the front panel cables and re-plugged them. Funny it was something so simple as the wires not all facing the same direction. Anyways, you've made my day. Cheers.

I'll make sure it's in check,, thanks

Okay, here's what I've got so far> Another PSU has proven to work (The LED on the motherboard lights up. However, the computer will not power on from the power button. I triple checked the pwr switch connection on the mobo as well as all other cables. I can't seem to get anything to work...
