Default Trouble Installing DVD RW Drive.


Alright

Mu Config

Gigabyte GA-880G USB 3 Rev 3.1 Mobo
Phenom X4 955 BE (No OC)
2x2 B RIPJAWS RAM
VX450
GTS 250

Problem:
1. Mobo has 5 SATA slots and not support any IDE Drives... 2 Slots are taken by 2 SATA HDDs. Rest 3 are covered by huge GFX Card.

2. Before Upgrade I forgot that my DVD RW was a IDE :@ now I cant connect it to mobo.

3. Only Slots available on Mobo are 1 PCIE X1 (Small One) & 1 Stanadard PCI Slot which is very close to gfx.

Due to mobo and processor change i have to reinstall windows 7 now as earlier install wont boot of new chipset and Proccy (As per google and also I tried but it wont even boot to safe mode) and as there is no DVD RW I cant put that damn DVD in for sarting install :@

Any help will be greatly appreciated as comp is offline now for 2 days

Get a sata 2 pata converter or make a bootable win7 usb drive

Install Windows 7 Or Windows 8 From USB Drive/Pen Drive
