Does the MOBO have a later BIOS? When you say it waits, is anything showing
as doing anything (if so, what), or is it a hang type wait? It is using the
DVD player when it asks you so it has the driver. It asks for any drive hd
drivers at the time you select the place to make the installation. Since we
have no idea about your system, how about providing some information. What
are you installing on? Others have had to temporarily unplug extra hard
drives and cd drives. Do you have multiple CD/DVD drives? Both IDE and
SATA hard drives?
