So I just put together a new pc
P4 dual core 2.88 ghz
1gb ddr ram stick, 1 256mb ddr ram stick
biostar p4800-m7 mainboard
IDE 0: 250 gb HD (m), 120 gb HD(s)
IDE 1: Lite-on CD/RW (m), 80 gb HD (s)
ATI 9800xt
M-Audio audiopile 192
so i install everything, i boot; everything is fine; all the drives show up; it reads my cpu correctly;
so i instert my windows XP pro disk; and nothing. It hangs on a black screen.
no "booting from cd"; or anything
I can go into my bios, everything shows up fine..
normally when i build a PC and put the windows disk in, it gives me the option of booting from the cd is i press something.
but now nothing.
any help?
