It gives no option to change boot up sequence for hardrive or dvd rom just for usb drive 
When i unplug that drive it will boot up into windows

because i want to install linux mint on it but the bois doesn't pick the hardrive up
it also doesnt pick the dvd rom up as bootable device
i run linux on a live usb and when the hardrive is in it doesn't pick it up
but when the other "windows" hardrive is in it picks it up | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number msi

On the IDE cable there will be 2 connectors (Normally, most people use sata now and most only come with 1 connector IDE cables Z Use the one furthest away from the MoBo side. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number SMN-Productions
