I have just built a new PC using a Gigabyte GA 71XE4 Mobo, AMD Athlon 900 CPU, IBM 40 GB HDD and am trying to boot up for the first time. I have got what I believe is to be a valid boot disk from the IBM website for first time running but all I get is:
Searching for boot record from floppy..not found
Searching for boot record from IDE-0..not found
Searching for boot record from CDROM..not found

Boot failure
Insert BOOT diskette in A:
press any key when ready


needless to say, when I press enter the drive spins up and after a couple of seconds I get the same lines repeated.
Any clues??

Thanks
Lee Hedley
