    Has anybody else had this problem? I tried to do a clean install of Vista x64, but the only way I could manage to install it was to first run a System Recovery, and then to initiate the install process from within Windows. For whatever reason, the computer just doesn't recognize the DVDROM as a bootable media, despite being listed as first boot device in the BIOS.

    Has anybody experienced this?

    Thanks,

    Kevin
