Computer Setup utility.
Removable Media Boot is disabled in the Computer Setup utility.
Network Boot is enabled in Computer Setup.
Non-bootable CD in drive.
Boot order not correct.
Drive not found (identified).
Cause
Cable could be loose.
The system may not have automatically recognized a newly
installed device.
The device is attached to a SATA port that has been hidden in
Computer Setup.

CD-ROM or DVD devices are not detected or driver is not loaded.
Cause

Solution
Run the Computer Setup utility and ensure Device Available is
selected for the device's SATA port in Security > Device Security.
Run the Computer Setup utility and enable booting to removable
media in Storage > Storage Options. Ensure CD-ROM is enabled
in Storage > Boot Order.
Run the Computer Setup utility and disable Network Boot in
Security > Network Boot.
Try a bootable CD in the drive.
Run the Computer Setup utility and change boot sequence in
Storage > Boot Order.
Solution

See reconfiguration directions in the
problems on page 59
section. If the system still does not
recognize the new device, check to see if the device is listed within
Computer Setup. If it is listed, the probable cause is a driver
problem. If it is not listed, the probable cause is a hardware
problem.
If this is a newly installed drive, run the Computer Setup utility
and try adding a POST delay under Advanced > Power-On
Options.
