Hey everyone,
I am having a strange problem with trying to install Windows XP on my MSI KT880 Delta, Athlon XP system. When I try booting from cd, the drive twitches a bit for half a minute maybe, but the boot from cd message never comes up, then it proceeds to boot from the hdd (which currently has Win98 on it, that had installed without any issues btw). Both the hdd and the optical drive are ide, both are masters and sit on two separate cables, I also tried swapping the cables (optical drive on ide port 1 or 2) and tried it as master or cable select. The optical drive model is Toshiba Samsung SH-S182, I also tried it with a Liteon SOHR-5238S without any luck. I know that both the optical drive and the cd are ok, since I've installed windows xp using both onto a ECS K8M800-M2, Athlon 64 pc just a couple of days ago. What could be cause of this behaviour (almost certain it's the motherboard)?
