| reboot and select proper boot device I recently built a computer with a MSI K9A2 CF-F motherboard. The hardrive is completely new and clean. I need to install vista on it. However, the computer won't boot from the bootable dvd. It shows the message "Reboot and select proper boot device." I tried to boot from an Ubuntu live dvd, but that didn't work either. Could it be because my dvd drive isn't compatible with my mother board?????? It worked on the computer I salvaged it from. Please help!!!!!!!!!!! -- ineedhelp92688 |

| Re: reboot and select proper boot device
You must enter the bios and change the boot order so that the computer looks first to the CD/DVD and then to the hard drive. It may be that way now! If it is, you may see (for only a second or two) a message that states something similar to: PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD/DVD. If you don't comply the computer will pass through and boot from the hard drive.

You may have to set your boot device/order in the bios, or it could simply be that you connected the mobo incorrectly "ineedhelp92688" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:90783abcd8dc5c07ead3026748a98fa5@nntp-gateway.com... > > I recently built a computer with a MSI K9A2 CF-F motherboard.
