I have an HP Pavilion 7955 that didn't have a hard drive, so I put in
a 164G Serial-ATA Hitachi Deskstar(HDT722516DLA380). There is a light
blue connector that has a small PCB plugged into it that allows the
use of a SATA drive with the motherboard. And the drive is the only
one on it's cable.
I want to try to install XP from a DVD. But the screen that shows the
boot order is as follows:
Boot Device Priority
--------------------
CD-ROM Drive
+Removable Drives
+Hard Drive
Network Boot
Though the DVD drive is found by the BIOS, it doesn't show at all in
that Boot Priority screen.
Is there a way to get the DVD-ROM drive into this list?
The CD-ROM and DVD-Rom are on a single cable with it terminating at
the CD-ROM.
Thanks.
