@yesh1683
keep pressing F8 key during post ckeck screen(not during OS selection) nd u will be prompted to select the boot device like CD ROM, DVD, HDD, lagacy lan etc...most mobos would boot from DVD only in this manner.


Is it Vista DVD?

I was not able to remove my drive myself so i took the system to my vendors shop and there he removed my drive and installed another dvd rom and it booted fine

so my problem was with my dvd writer
Oh!! atleast i can breath easy now

I have asked for replacement, my vendor told that he will give another one within 2 days

That method didnt work on my PC,, I saw that option on my friends asus board & that feature is quite useful

AND yes its VISTA ULTIMATE DVD

that method differs from bios to bios....
