No, really I had him run through a couple of things and it BSOD's as master or slave HDD. I had him send *me* the drive and I hooked it up as a USB drive. As soon as Vista starts to recognize the drive POOF! BSOD. Doesn't matter how I set the jumpers either. Does it when Vista is in Safe mode even. It's a 120GB EIDE drive but I have no character mode methods to boot to. Anyone have any tricks? Bart CD maybe?
