Problem with LGA 775 motherboard

Cleeecooo · 8 Jan 2011 at 18:25

Hi, I bought one of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-220-GI

I transferred the CPU, RAM and 1 of the HDD's from an old system to this one and I tried to install the OS on the HDD i took from the old computer, I inserted the OS disk and booted from disk. The computer boots up as normal, then at the bottom of the screen says:
verifying DMI pool
Boot from CDROM
press any key to boot from CDROM
..... Missing operating system
Whatever i try, the missing operating system still comes up and it doesn't allow me to do anything else. Anyone had a problem like this before?

Did you press the key to boot from CD?

Check the HDD is the forst boot device in the BIOS.

ermm... what key do i press to boot from CD? I f you mean when it prompts me, then yes i did, many times but for some reason it still doesn't detect the keboard. Upon initial startup, the keyboard is detected, then it isn't. I had set the CD ROM to be the first boot device. What order should it go?

I usually have mine set to HDD, then fres F8 to get the boot menu and manually select CD

F12 on my mobo. I can get into the actual BIOS and boot menu, but then it seems that my keyboard gets disabled or something. I tried with and without a wireless keyboard. Any other suggestions?

Does it matter which sata port my drive is in?

It's normly del for BIOS but it depends.. it should say on post screen

Cleeecooo · 8 Jan 2011 at 19:44

yes, it's del to go into BIOS, but F12 to go to oot menu. I am nearly certain that my mobo can't detect my keyboard by the time it gets to : verifying DMI pool

Is it USB or PS2? If its USB make sure that legacy usb support is enabled in the bios.
