Due to the use of a new disk
‘Disk not initialized’ problem occurs due to several reason. This usually happens in a new disk. The problem occurs when the disk does not contain a valid signature. After installing a new disk if you start Disk Management, then a wizard would appears that provides a list of the new disks detected. If you cancel the wizard before the disk signature is written, the disk status remains ‘Not Initialized’ until you right-click the disk and then click ‘Initialize Disk’.
Setup CMOS setup properly
When the CMOS setup is not being setup correctly then the computer might not support CD-ROM / DVD as a bootable option. So you need to check CMOS in order to confirm that your settings are being properly set in order to boot from the CD-ROM drive. If CD-ROM is listed after a device that is bootable it will boot from the other device before the CD-ROM.
Set jumpers properly
When the jumpers are not being properly set, then most of the disc drives will not correctly boot. So, you need to check that the CD-ROM / DVD drive has the jumpers and it has to be set correctly. It is ideal that you use a CD-ROM set as master on the secondary controller.
