Thanks for the info/help!  Actually I am using an IDE drive, but I do 
not remember if I disabled the SATA in the BIOS or not.  I'll try that 
and see what happens.  Do you think disabling the SATA will do the 
trick?  Also, are you using the built-in ATI?  As far as I know, the 
most recent BIOS upgrade is ft20s018, which is what I have.

Thanks,
Robert
