hmm, my general rule of thumb is don't use Award's large setting, and 
unless the drive is less then half a gig, don't use normal. Auto 
generally uses the lba mode, which is the best of the three. Do the 
auto-detect in the bios, and choose the one it suggests, thats always lba 
in my experience. Also don't set it at auto on bootup, just to be safe..

What else? I guess that cdrom is an ATAPI-compatable, so it wont screw it 
there. Might was well go through your bios, and turn off features. You 
could also do the bios's saved settings, or the setups (manafacturer's) 
settings, though the latter often adds more. I'd personally use the 
bios's, and go through it. turn off 'stop on all erros' (though ment for 
the bios check). Just disable anything that looks 'featury,' and hell, 
even take the chipset down to fx, no added features. This is all just in 
hopes you can get past this, and then trouble shoot and see what might be 
causing the problem.. good luck!
