Ok so after having this board for quite a while i had windows vista ult x64 installed which was install from a ide dvd rom drive. my main HD crashed and i am trying to install windows and it wont boot from CD. the rev of my board is 1.0 i was running the f7 bios but i went back to f6 just in case it was the bios being flaky. now i have tried two different bioses, two different ide cables and two different dvd rom drives that work in two other machines. and it doesnt show up in bios or let me boot from a cd or dvd where as the same cd on two other rigs worked. any suggestions? i am freaking out cause if i cant intall a os on my main rig it is useless until i can. i am wondering why before my ide dvd rom drive showed up and now its not showing any ide dvd rom drive i pop in. and yes i set boot device priority.
