New Pc Boot wont work on Disk drive

I recently built a new system with:
Sabertooth 990fx
Gskill DDR3 1866
etc and just purchased a new asus dvd drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6827135204

Every time I boot, *Switched boot order and made sure disc worked* it recognizes a drive and says press a button to boot from drive. I press button nothing happens..
Eventually it goes to a screen where it says "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key.


Just was really looking for some answers on what I should do

This is an original OS boot disk? If not and is a burnt copy have you booted another computer from it?

Then your problem is really strange, unless your keyboard is not working!

If that is the case then it would be a motherboard issue!

Unless you have disabled SATA controllers in BIOS then I think that the board is your problem, if you can test the drive in a different computer then that would confirm it.

It seems the drive is shot and I bought one from best buy that wont even power on

They were properly connected. Seems I Have terrible luck but I'll go pick up another drive tomorrow to be 100% thats it not the motherboard. I just found it strange each disk drive was defective in a different way so I guess it's just dumb luck

I am having this exact problem... I did a build yestday and am looking for this answer as well
