So in the BIOS have you selected the first boot device as the dvd drive?

Normally you install the drivers for the motherboard when you have installed the operating system have you?

That board has support for 4 IDE devices so did you set the DVD drive up on its own IDE channel and set the jumper to "master" on the rear of the drive?
