Also, the POST never gives any error message, as I suppose it should do with broken hardware. there are 2 possible solutions in my mind: 1. ATA driver is still somewhat broken, 2. There should be a way to adjust the time-out in the authentification routine in the ATA driver (if there is any, that is). cheers, Fierman
