Board Won't Boot From CD

iKettles · 23 Feb 2008 at 15:12

Just received my new board which aside from the problem, is fantastic! It's an MSI P35 Neo2-FR
I've got DVD drive to first in the boot sequence and it prompts me to press any key to boot from CD however when I press any key it just hangs on press any key. Got some advice from a friend and he told me to load optimized defaults however it doesn't make a difference.
Help?

im guessing this is a usb keyboard , i have had this problem befor and to get round it i used a normal ps2 keyboard to go through the install process.although my new build was ok with the usb anyways hope you get it sorted.

Tried both USB and PS2, still won't boot from CD.

check your DVD cabling, try another optical drive...

The fact it says Boot from CD mean it has read that a bootable CD is in (I think)

that it then falls over means the disk might be dirty/scratched

so try another disk

Sorted with a BIOS update.
