reboot and select proper boot device

[Bloom]

Yesterday I completed assembling a brand new computer with MSI K9A2 CF-F motherboard and a 250GB HDD with Samsung DVD drive. I want to install Windows Vista on this system. But when I try to run the setup instead of booting it gives me the following error:

"Reboot and select proper boot device."

I thought there would be some problem with the Vista DVD, hence I checked it on my laptop, it works fine. Later I tried to boot my new assembled computer with Ubuntu Live CD but that dint boot either. Getting the same problem. I’m not sure what could be the cause for this problem but I highly suspect my DVD drive isn’t compatible with the motherboard ? Can it be ? Any suggestion how can I fix this problem and start the Vista installation ?

I don’t think that there is any dvd drive compatibility issue. The very first you need to do is set your boot device/order. Did you done that? If not, enter the BIOS and change the boot order to CD/DVD drive. This will make the computer to fist check the DVD drive if there is any bootable drive inserted. If it finds one, you wont be getting that error again and system will boot form the DVD. Just don’t forget to hit space bar when you get a message after restart saying “boot from CD”.
