So I rummaged through my house and gathered up some computer parts I had lying around so I could build a new computer for Ubuntu. Got everything assembled, heres a quick parts breakdown;
- old mid tower with 430 watt ps
- AMD 3200 64 bit proccesor
- FIC k8 800t motherboard
- Nvidia graphics card
- 320 gb SATA hd (new)
- Multiple DVD burner (+,-,ram and rom) also new.

Now heres my big problem. Everything is connected properly, because I can get into my BIOS screen. From there I can see my new HD and my new Burner. So I set my boot order to start with the CD drive, then HD. But when I reboot, The command line says, "Booting From CD..." It stays like that for a second and then says, "Non system disk, please insert and press any key"

The distro of ubuntu is right from them, and I've tried a couple of disks that I know to be bootable, and I get the same message everytime. Seems to me like the problem is the CD drive, but it's brand new...

Any suggestions?

Try hitting "Enter" when you see the words "Booting From CD..."
