Thanks for the info! I'm going to Cc: the list now, in case someone else is having issues. My drives are 1 and 2 as well, as a matter of fact, I've tried them everywhere. No matter what, after install, I get the blinking cursor. I'm going to try to get a chance this aft to play around again, and I'll let you know what I find. If it doesn't work, we can compare BIOS settings.
