Hello everyone, I just got done building my computer and everything worked fine, just forgot to add the power to my Video Card and just got a beep. Took care of that, but now I am getting a Disk Boot Error. I have gone into the Bios and had it boot from the CD drive first, but still no luck.

I have a Evga Nforce 680i Ultra Motherboard, and being stupid I think I just have the connections to the Drive messed up. I only have 2 cables comming from it (Normal?) being the power cable, and the cable for the floppy drive. I think there lies my problem as I have the cable labeled "Floppy" in the drive. I don't have any other cables with it, so I don't really know what to do at this moment. Any help will be great. Thanks

Also if it means anything I also get a "Media Test Failure, check cable"

Another addition, It IS reconizing my hard drive, as I searched I remember people saying it was the hard drive.

Well what I have it a HDD cable for the that is connect through IDE. I bought the CD drive online, as I don't have any other cable but the one that came with my Motherboard labeled "FDD cable"

The cable is connected to the CD drive, and the Floppy drive connector.

conect the cd drie to the hard drive cable and make sure the cd drive is on slave.

look on the back of the drive and you should see a set of four pins there may be a block on them.
It should say on the drive where to place the block to set it to slave.
What drive do you have?
 
try this.
on the hard drive cable set the cd drive as master and plug it into the top plug and then set your hard drive as slave and plug it into the the middle plug on the cable and the bottom one into the board.
heres a picture of the cable you should have got or have

plug the cd drive into the black slot as master and the hard drive into the grey spot as slave and the blue into the mother board (if that dosent work put the cd drive on the blue and the black in the board.
