It seems to be that you had problems with 4.8 and 5.1, since you low level formatted the drive i'm assuming that it is IDE. Chances are if you waited long enough you might find some really unique/cool error messages posting to the console. It sounds like for whatever reason you're hard drive is timing out on responses. That or it could be your controller, at any rate. Maybe you should look into those. > Running 5.1 is a different story.
