I'm trying to do a fresh install on my harddrive BUT when i put the disk in i do not get the "press any key to boot from cd..". The bios boot is set 1. CD/DVD 2. Hard drive I have already reset the CMOS and BIOS to default. If the previous windows manages to boot up i get an Overclock error then it restarts. I got the windows CD to boot a couple times using the boot menu, but it restarts mid way when "windows is loading files". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Awards

What BIOS make/version do you have? Awards
