Edit: okay. I guess I pulled the data cable out of the dvd drive when I pulled the hdd (spaghetti city inside).
Why does the mobo show some generic cd drive? I'm trying to delete this. I'm on mobile thought.
I'm trying to get a fresh install going for a friend of mine on their old rig. I had prepared a boot drive with the appropriate iso on it. Nothing I hadn't done before.
Except the windows usb program available from MS is currently down on their site. I used Rufus (which I've used before). The rig (p7p55d mobo) would not detect the USB drive. I plugged in another drive and it was recognized on boot. I tried the boot drive on another computer and it worked.
I updated the bios and still no joy from the USB.
I burned a DVD boot disc and still nothing. In boot order it shows "removable device" "xxxx CD drive" and the harddrive. I'm assuming removable device is some generic term? Because when I had the other USB in it would show it.
When you go into boot options, it only ever shows the HDD. I'm not sure what the issue is.
