Thanks GLC, I just downloaded it. I'll hold off until I've exhausted my other ideas, but it's good to have a possible solution in hand. You're a lifesaver, and I appreciate it. One question, last night, after going into BIOS to look for an option to disable the RAID controller (which is located in the VT-8237 Southbridge), I noticed on boot that there was a RAID controller on IRQ 10 and one on IRQ 11. I don't remember seeing the original option to get into the onboard controller, as it now doesn't have any cables plugged into it, but is it possible that the close proximity of IRQ's is somehow blocking access to the SIL RAID setup? I also thought about hitting F4 immediately on startup, much like hitting delete over and over to get into the BIOS, in case my timing is off. This board really fires through the initial boot sequence, that's one reason why I'm having trouble seeing what's really going on, and I'm a pretty fast reader. I'm thinking about training my vidcam on the screen, and then playing it back using slow-mo and pause in order to be able to see everything.
