Hi guys,

I want to format my PC. I have done the process 100x so no beginner. I've put the windows 7 DVD in and rebooted. It just went straight to desktop with no prompt to boot from DVD. I thought hmmm odd, so first things first I booted to bios and made sure the boot order was CD drive first, which it was. So I booted again and still no prompt.

Any idea? With the PC loaded the PC can see the drive fine and it reads the disk fine:confused:

Does the bios say the name of your DVD Drive or is it just standard "CD/DVD Rom"
 
I had exactally the same issue but mine happened after I updated my motherboard to the latest bios.

My fix was to change where the cd drive was connected to the motherboard. I changes it from sata port 2 to 6 and it worked a treat.

Hope this helps
