Yeah I've disconnected both cables from the board, I have the HDD plugged into data port 0 which I hear is correct,and CD/DVD drive in port 1, I'm gonna take a guess that its gonna be the hard drive as it was a recon drive

I know its windows 8 I'll have to look what version in the morning, what difference would this make, I've got 2x4gb ram there in the correct slots to what the board says so, I got it to work but f12 on start up and choosing to boot through disc drive, which then partioned the drive and installed
