I successfully installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC a few weeks ago, now I
find I can't boot from my DVD drive.

My BIOS is finding the drive and the drive works fine once Windows boots,
but I'm not able to select it as a boot device.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I will tell you what i ran into a few weeks ago . Same thing basically.
Then i found this jumper on the motherboard that set a bios password.
Removed the jumper then I could change the boot sequence . Dell crap I
think it was.
that would be the only thing I could think of that would not allow you
to change the boot sequence . But then if you already booted from it to
install win 7 ?
I do know win 7 has driver issues . Maybe you do not have any dos driver
loaded .
