Problem solved. Verdict: I'm dense.
Hi all. I'll just get straight to the point. As much as I usually love adding several paragraphs of expository goodness, laced with quirky sarcasm and references to things only I understand and chuckle at, I'm sure this sentence alone is enough to appease my crap sense of humor.
Now, I just recently built a new computer. However, it needed a CD/DVD drive. So, thinking abstractly (aka i didn't want to spent $20 on a cd drive,) I took it out of this computer and put it into the other one. Everything booted. The drive opened, meaning the 4-pin was at least plugged in correctly.
I loaded my OEM vista disk into the drive, changed the boot order to CDROM priority in the BIOS, and restarted my computer in hopes that everything would be fine and dandy.
DISK BOOT ERROR: INSERT DISK AND PRESS ENTER
"Well," I thought to myself, "Perhaps I should simply press enter. Maybe it's just being dense!" I was wrong though, after several presses of enter and ejections of the CD drive, it still didn't work. This is where I need help:
Why won't the CD/DVD Drive that worked magnificently with my other computer boot into my windows disk?
also as a side question does anyone know what font it is that most boot screens use?
