Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Yes. When the computer boots up the chipset is the same as what is in the
motherboard owners manual. When I try to boot up from the CD disk that Asus
sold along with the motherboard I can't seem to access it. The screen
automatically goes to DOS A:

I know my CD drive is working because the CD Drive light comes on and it
can read my Windows installation CD. However when booting up I see a message
that reads "No CD emulation". Does that mean the problem is with my CD drive?
