mister_doodi Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I had similar problems I tried different setting for few days and I made a lot of changes, I dont know which one fixed it but... I played around with ACHI/IDE settings in bios. Used both mentioned and used compatable. Installed acronis boot loader.

You will have to flash your bios. I had a W7S, and it waste me like 2 hours to flash my laptop without floppy drive.
