James, Thanks for the info. I think you have hit it right on. After ruling out most everything else, it seems the install is choking with the ATA 100. You have the same MOBO, and must have the same bios. I can only find an entry to enable or disable UDMA. With UDMA disabled, I get mode PIO 4, and that will not work. Would you be so kind as to tell me how you were able to go to mode UDMA 3. I have been in my bios many times, and I just can not see how you did it. Thanks for the help, -- J.
