Ok, some members have had to do this:
Hard drive first, DVD second.
When you first boot up HIT F8 key to get boot order menu screen.
Then choose DVD for Win 7 Install DVD already inserted.
Let it go thru the standard process on install.
When it does the auto reboot sequences, it will go to the hard drive for the rest of the install.

Just a few bumps along the way!

well i setup my MB to hard drive first, DVD second but wnen I hit F8 to get boot order menu screen it doesn't appear i get NTlodder is missing press alt+ctrl+del to restart, and on winxp I hit F8 i get all the usuall selection but nothing says DVD for win7 install. Man i starting to get so depressed here.
