I think the flashing cursor is because your system is skipping by the DVD and still trying to boot off of the hard drive. When you used this DVD on your other systems did you do a clean install or did you run the install from the previous version of windows? It might be a good idea to put that DVD in one of your other PC's and verify it is in fact bootable. If some one knows of a good utility to do that would they please post it, I have to admit thats one thing I'm not up to speed on. |

| | OK, now we are getting somewhere, the DVD is bootable so the problem is with the motherboard or optical drive. If you haven't already reset your BIOS to fail safe defaults and double check your BIOS and make sure the DVD drive is selected as the first boot device. I would still like you to try disconnecting your hard drive SATA cable. I want to see what the BIOS says when the POST ends. |

| | What is the exact model number of your motherboard? What SATA ports do you have your drives plugged into? Make sure they are not dedicated RAID SATA ports. |

| | If your drives are connected to SATA ports 1 & 2 try moving them to SATA ports 3 & 4. Ports 1 & 2 are SATA III and 3 to 6 are SATA II. I would at least move the DVD drive to one of the SATA II ports. Why waste a SATA III port on an optical drive. |
