ninjageek Posted February 10, 2013 CID Share Posted February 10, 2013 So I got my new computer, for the life of me I am NOT able to get it to boot from dvd. Its the sabertooth 990fx R2. So if I set in the boot order, DVD first, Hard drive second, it wont boot, Set it to Hard drive first, boots fine. Something is not right.

TriRan Posted February 10, 2013 CID Share Posted February 10, 2013 Is there specific reason you need it to boot from a disc? Try taking the hard disk off the boot list completely and try to boot from the disc Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30590-really-stuck/#findComment-338645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted February 10, 2013 Author CID Share Posted February 10, 2013 While Its rare. Yea, need to boot from disk. So odd. I can boot from disk no problem. I can boot from hard drive no problem. If I put dvd first hard drive second. It dosen't work.

mudmanc4 Posted February 10, 2013 CID Share Posted February 10, 2013 So if you can boot from both the 'disk' and the HDD what is the issue ? At first it sounds as if you cannot boot from the DVD drive, then you say you can but not in the order you wish. /confoozed Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30590-really-stuck/#findComment-338650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted February 11, 2013 Author CID Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Your Right Mud, Plese accept my apology. I did not word my first post right. I want the ability to boot from either DVD or Hard Drive without having to go in and make change my BIOS. If I put DVD in the first boot order, and there is no DVD in the drive, It won't skip that drive and Move on to hard drive. That should make more senese. Sorry. Forgot to add, If I do put a DVD in the drive, it will boot no problem. If the DVD is empty, it won't skip the DVD and move on to boot from hard drive.

That's what I thought you were saying it could be a glitch with either the motherboard or dvd drive it may just be one of those things you have to live with try updating your bios If no update is available try restoring bios to default Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30590-really-stuck/#findComment-338655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted February 11, 2013 Author CID Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yea I agree, may have to live with it. Thought there may be some other setting in the BIOS I was missing. It dosent bother me so much I am ready to flash the bios. Have a C.D. I use to back up my harddrive. Thats really the only reason that I use the DVD, or reload windows 7 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30590-really-stuck/#findComment-338656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriRan Posted February 11, 2013 CID Share Posted February 11, 2013 Could also see if there is a firmware upgrade for the dvd drive too Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30590-really-stuck/#findComment-338661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted February 12, 2013 Author CID Share Posted February 12, 2013 Never thought about firmware upgrade for the DVD. Its just a cheep, generic dvd Player. Have to figure out what brand it is. What was the name of that Program you could get that would give you al the computer hardware. Was it barkley, something like that.
