Hi Paul:
Thanks for reply. There is a 80gb sata drive in the system ( WDC WD800JD-60LSA0). Under storage option for SATA EMULATION in BIOS set up menue, there are 4 options to choose from: AHCI, RAID, COMBINED IDE CONTROLLE, AND SEPARATE IDE CONTROLLER. I tried both COMBINED & SEPARATE, and got the same result, blue screen and bunch of error codes.
