New Build, psu doesnt provide long enough cables!

[element291]

The 4 PIN 12V connectors coming out of the PSU arent long enough to reach the 4pin connector on the mobo. I'm currently rigging up one of these while I wait for my extension cable in the mail.



So close, but yet so far away

Fixed that problem. NEW PROBLEM... I'm trying to boot from CD to install vistax64.

Everytime it comes up saying 'press any key to boot from CD or DVD' I press a button.

Then it comes up saying "WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER" "A recent hardware or software change might have isntalled a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. If you have a windows installation disc, insert the disc and restart your computer. Click "Repair your computer" then choose a recovery tool"

What is happening??? It says insert your windows installation disc. THIS IS WHATS IN THERE!

My xp disc says there is a file corrupt when I try and load the setup.

These cds work fine in any other computer. I've tried 2 dvd roms as well. I'm getting quite pissed at this....

Anyone know what the problem may be?

Maybe a DOA hard drive ... When I built my rig I was planning to use a 80gb for my OS and keep the 250gb for data but when I was trying to install windows, I wasn't able to format the hard drive. The 80gb was DOA .

I've tried 3 different Harddrives. Tried loading vista xp and 98 to no avail. These discs work on every other build i've done :(
