New custom build - win7 dvd won't boot
Setup:
Complete new build, including a new win7 dvd. Mobo is an ASUS z97-a. Can get to BIOS setup fine, all hardware is recognized as expected.
Problem:
I can't get the system to boot to the install disks. I've tried the obvious stuff (making sure that it's set bootable as first priority in the bios, verifying the disk is good on another system, and even borrowing a known good optical drive and installing that).
I'm assuming it has something to do with advanced boot settings (CSM? UEFI? I didn't have to muck with this stuff in my previous builds over the years, I would just set boot order and the OS would install from the optical drive).
Anyway - help? :)
