Leave the cd in when you boot and set the bios to boot to the cd, most new boards have a option at the bottom when booting to press a key to get a boot order screen
 
the DVD nor HDD are being recognised, the ide things just say none detected, and after bout 5 secs within boot up the cpu fan turns itself off. i have no idea what is going on, this is the first time this comp has been booted up since i built it, so the hard drive is brand new. anyone help me???
