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!
