Hi David -

Okay... how do you have your boot devices set up in your BIOS setup screens?

You need to have 1st boot device, of course, set to CD-ROM (at least until
your operating system is fully installed). Your 2nd boot device should be
your SATA drive. Some BIOS' have options for generic HDD, CD-ROM and
FLOPPY... you then have to go into a sub-menu to define exactly which drive
is to be the boot drive.

It would be helpful at this point to tell us who makes your motherboard and
what model. Helping with BIOS settings blind is nearly impossible.
