I posted this a while back ,but I think it got delted when they pruned the hardware forums.

I have a Gigabyte GA-81915P Duo Pro a motherboard with a LGA775 socket.

I have a P4 3.0 LGA 775 proccessor, Corsair XMS DDR 333 and a Geforce 6600 Video card on the PCI x16 bus.

heres the problem.

I cannot get it to boot from the CD-ROM drive.

This is the second motherboard I got cause we had the same problem with the first one.

If the CD-ROM drive is in the secondary or third IDE channel, it will not boot from it. If I put the CD-ROM on the First IDE channel and the HD on the 2'nd or third IDE channel, it will boot from the CD, but it won't recognize the HD.

Does anyone have any ideas about this cause I am truly stumped.
