MSI K8NGM2-IL
512 MB hyix DDR @ 400
80 GB Seagate Sata
Sony DVD Writer.

The Problem is this that when i try to Boot from the 32 bit Vista RC1 it restarts after Displaying : "Press any key to boot from a CD or DVD......."
I donno Why it happens.I have checked the DVD in other computer.It Works.
Please Help!

is the DVD writer the secondary master, and not slave??

i can boot using the same dvd writer from windows XP CD

ohhh...then the iso seems to be corrupted!..try burning the same iso on another DVD...if it works fine!...but if it doesn't then will have to download it again!

I have install from the same dvd in my friends intel 2.66 and it works fine

Come one forum members help me!

better u install it once again & r u using any other os also on d same pc....

i have tried 10 times and i am using Xp

Yeah sometimes that problem happens .. You need to install XP and then Upgrade it the OS itself ..

Are you sure that you've set the First Boot Device to your CD/DVD ROM ???

@Tanmay: are you kidding.Thats the first step whenever onr tries to boot from a DVD or Cd.How could one try without selecting it?

@official : The first boot device by default is always the Floppy Drive.I was just telling him to try and set the CD DVD as the first boot device and then try and see if it works or not.

Still Finding for a Solution

the best way would be to install thru windows XP(unless u have Sata-RAID) as mentioned above

When installing from XP u dont need to boot from the dvd... and choose a new install insted of upgrade otherwise it will install over XP...
