Problem solved. Set IDE 0 to none, so the bios will look elsewhere for the DVD drive. Thanks jt

"CD/DVD might refer only to IDE devices" It seems that is the case. CD/DVD is not on the HD boot order. No settings for sata dvd drives in the bios either.

Installed a Pioneer sata dvd drive on a GA-MA69GM-S2H MB. Everything works fine until I try to boot from the dvd drive. It will boot off the dvd drive if the hard drive is blank, no OS installed. But will not boot off the dvd drive if there is an OS is installed on the hard drive. It is...

Grandson screwed up Windows OS on his Acer Aspire laptop. Windows goes in a reboots loop during startup. Startup Repair does the same thing. He has no recovery disk for the puter. Can I use my Vista Utimate disk to do an OS repair on it? Thanks
