no i do not

Go into your BIOS and look at the "Boot Order" make sure the CD-ROM Drive is set to boot first. If that does not work see if your HDD is properly set to slave with the jumpers. If that does not work get SATA and call it a day...threepac81

will it work if i get windows cd ?

well i did but it doesnt say CD-Rom it say something with alot of numbers and letters

I'm being general... Just make your CD-Rom, DVD-Rom , Blu-Ray, or HD DVD-Rom drive first under Boot Order. (Example. Samsung-DVD-02892)threepac81
