Thanks. That makes it sound like the BIOS doesn't think the CD is
bootable but I'm not sure why. We'll need to try and collect more
information from other sources to see if we can narrow it down (e.g.
whether it happens on other vendors' motherboards or just Gigabyte,
whether there are other combinations of SATA versus non-SATA optical
drives that cause problems, etc).
Just to collect as much information about this specific case as I can...
Are you using CD media or DVD media? Is there a chance you could try
the other type of media (e.g. if you're using CD media could you give
DVD media a quick try?) just to eliminate that as one of the variables?
