I have to ask but is boot from cd enabled in your BIOS ?

Yes, please be sure that your boot priorities are in order.

However, I changed my boot priorities and that still didn't work. I had to change the order in which my drives were initialized. (Not sure what that actually means, some option I found in my BIOS)

most "older" BIOS tend to boot to IDE first then SCSI second so boot order can matter

If your still getting problems rex need more info

I'm not having issues, I was responding to the original poster. Sorry for the confusion, hehe.

It could be your DVD,as I recently bought 25 pack of Samsung-Pleomax ,DVD-R,only to find none of them can be read by my drive an Nec 3,450A.
Previously only got a rogue one's.
To confirm this try- Nero CD-DVD Speed website .

I havent seen this fix yet. There are cd drivers inder the root drive when you select browse. The last folder has all the drivers needed, takes a few minutesto load them. Windows just fails to pre load them..
