I cant find how to set up the boot order on my new MSI motherboard.

Because when i start it up I get the message 'Reboot and select proper boot device'

I'm assuming I need to set the boot order up but how?

When your machine is posting it will tell you which key to press to enter BIOS. Reboot and press the key until you're into BIOS and then look for the "Boot" menu. Should be simple enough to set the boot order then.

Have you installed the OS?

CBrooksC · 23 Mar 2011 at 18:28

Not yet. Thats what I'm trying to do LOL

Then you need to set the optical drive first so that it boots the Windows disc and you can carry out the installation. lol.

Optical Drive being the DVD drive?

Yup. Set that first, the hard drive second and any other devices after that.

Brian8bit · 23 Mar 2011 at 18:32

Have you saved the settings when you exit BIOS?

CBrooksC · 23 Mar 2011 at 18:33
