PC Setup-New Build-New Vista HomePrem. Install -

Boot Device Help? I just built my first PC! All went well until I was loading Vista and I got to the second or third screen where it was asking what drive to load onto. I have 2 HDD's setup. I chose the one I wanted and it said it wasnot able to??? So I then used Vista to supposedly format but when I formatt all it did was was change the my selected drive to primary and still would not let me load Vista. So exited out of the install.I checked my Boot primary's and HDD's in Bios and all look good. So went to setup Vista again and now All I get is"Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" Yes the vista cd is in the dvd rom and yesthe dvd rom is setup in the boot primary first. I have unhooked my so-called "primary drive" and tried without it and I get same message. I have re-arranged all sata cables and boot primary's 100 different ways and nothing changed in my message. Yes the bios sees my 2 dvd roms. I thought 1st was DOA. Thanks
