You need to change the boot order in the bios menu.
Device 1 should be the optical drive, drive 2 should be the HDD. When you are running again, remember to change order back. Good Luck

Yes the cd/dvd drive is set to boot from. It works when I use the original hard drive which is 40 GB Seagate eide Momentus.
I did have the cdrom/dvd set as the first boot device and it still doesn't do anything.
I think it might be a power problem. My old drive only uses .42 amp where as the new drive uses .55 amp.
DO YOU HAVE "BOOT FROM CD/DVD DRIVE" CHECKED IN THE BIOS?
