Hello
Got a neo965 and had some blue screens and was going to format and clean up, seems for some reason when I tell the BIOS the boot order CD-ROM first, the windows 7 install disk wont load and prompt me to boot from CDROM now, but it used to do this.....has something changed in the BIOS ot cdrom?
Instead if goes to HDdisk and loads windows.
And ideas?
I would like to format the HD and re install the OS for cdrom
thanks
If SATA, make sure you haven't accidentally set (in the BIOS) the SATA mode from IDE to AHCI or RAID.
This will cause the BIOS to detect the SATA devices differently and it is likely that standard boot order settings won't apply anymore.
This in itself isn't a problem, because using RAID or AHCI mode gives you Hot-Swap functionality plus others, but you may need to look further down the list of BOOT devices for the CD-ROM's model name rather than just CD-ROM... (or whatever it is called).
I haven't personally used this mainboard, so this is just a wild-shot.
Let me know what you find.
