are you using a very recent cd? if you can copy down any lines that look like these that pop up during the boot process and send them to me offline? #S/sdE: ahci sb600 port 0xe0022800: sss 0 ncs 31 coal 1 mports 3 led 1 clo 1 ems 0 #S/sdE: sb600: sata-II with 4 ports it would also be helpful if you could send me the output of a tool like lspci. i don't know if there's a windows equivalent. i'm most interested in the vid and did of the ahci controller. - erik
