Try to disable the highpoint in the BIOS just to see if that is causing the hangup. I know it won't give give you a drive to install on, but if it boots past that point, you have narrowed down the problem. I have a hpt 372 and have not had a problem though. Is it set as a RAID device or a standard ATA controller. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
