So I put everything together and everything seems to work, except I can't do anything. The sytem boots up without any beeps and the MSI "corecell" logo pops up. An then a "American MegaTrends" BIOS appears and the system continues booting until it says something like, "Scan disks, no disk detected" and that disappears and I'm left with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. So I have no idea what to do. In the BIOS it "says" it detects my hard drive, CD-ROM and floppy disk... I don't have my CD-RW connected because I'm not sure how to connect that as a slave drive. I've tried putting in a windows setup disks and the MSI disk, but nothing boots. I think my hard drive has something jumpered but I'm really not sure. Perhaps I have to configure the older hard drive or cd-rom?
