Is it all new parts? If you can keep the side open, what I do when I have problems like this, I unplug the HDD to force boot from the removable disc drive and then plug it back in once it boots.

its sata HDD is that ok?

my nero isnt burnin bootable disks correctly. that was my problem. I put an old xp disk that i made a while ago... and it worked first try.
