Installing Windows 7, DVD not running
I have the motherboard (ASrock 970 Extreme3) booting and the BIOS comes up and everything. I set the boot priority to my LG gh24 dvd drive. Then when I save and restart everything it comes up and says: Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key_. I put the Windows 7 CD and press a button it pauses for a moment and then just repeats the previous message. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. I haven't done this in like 3 years so I don't remember having to do it previously. The BIOS is detecting the new hard drive. I went to the common problems section on this forum and changed it from IDE to AHCI and did not make any head way. I also made sure the boot priority was set to the dvd drive. I am using an OEM DVD of Windows 7 Home Premium that is genuine. Can anyone help me out, I'm doing this for my younger brother and never had this type of issue before. Thank you so much.
