Default OS XP or WIN 7 wont install
I thought I'd try Windows 7 and burned it onto a DVD using Imgburn.

The trouble is when I restart the system it wont boot with it. I thought it might be the way I burned the win 7 download so I tired another iso-burner and same problem.

Then I tried the original install disk and that doesn't work either...it worked fine last week when I installed a new HD-the same HD Im trying to install it on now.

I've tried changing boot priorities but it doesnt make any differenece. Any ideas what Im doing wrong? Rig is in sig (top 1)

No its all stock right now-I wonder if I should reset the CMOs before I try to boot anyway. EDIT -actually the ELEEt had added a mhz or so to nearly 2.8..Ill try at stock.

OK its all loaded now. I switched the SATA cables from the RED to the BLACK and disabled all boot devices Xcept the CD, rather than setting CD as 1, HD as 2 etc. One thing is in Win 7 I cant seem to view the CCC using the icon. Im also not sure whether or not I need to install the MB drivers or that they will even work in WIN 7.
