Not sure if I posted this in the right area but here goes.

I had a brilliant idea that I would build my own PC and now I am regreting it.

I have a Xeon 3065
Supermicro X7SBA system board
4 Gb Aereon DDR2 800 memory
Samsung write master dvd/cd-r
Adaptec 4800SAS raid controller
4 Seagate 15K SAS drive
forgot the video card that i stuck in there but I am using the onboard one anyways.


I put it all together and went to boot to cd to load the os etc and there is cd activity but nothing happens and it eventually said no operating system found.

Any ideas?
 
did you set the cd to boot first in the bios, if not you can easly do it usualy by hitting f12 f11 or f10 at startup which usualy brings you to a boot menu, just select the cd drive
 
Yea I did, then I reset the bios and did it again and baught two other sata CD roms to try. I know its some dumb thing I am missing.
