One of my friends also resolved a situation where MS-Windows would not install on a SATA disk by changeing the SATA cable. I have a shuttle chassie with an Athlon64 3800 , 1 GB RAM and thee Segate SATA 320 GB drives. this box failed mysteriously and had unexplained HUNG situations. After I changed to SATA-300 cables with clip-locks on the contactors all problems went away. //Lars
