Wiped computer and no boot device available

I have a Dell Dimension E520. I backed up the computer to an external HD and wiped the computer with Dban. I changed the boot sequence to the CD/DVD drive and am trying to install Vista again off the factory reinstall disk. When I boot the computer I get the No boot device available. The Bios recognizes the HDD and the DVD drive but I keep getting this message. I have unplugged and reconnected the internal drive cables on both and I even changed the DVD port on the board to the SATA 4 spot but it did not change. When I put the Dban disk in it will run that program so I don't know why it won't run the reinstall disk. Any ideas?
