Hi, Jason,

Thanks and I tried the first method to start with the parameter, but it was
extremely slow loading each screen. one time I got to the testing media page
and i chose Test. and it seemed stuck there for ever so I forced shutdown my
box.

I also tried to download and install the AHCI driver following this article:

http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30865

But the installation failed; it said The computer does not meet the minimum
requirements for installing this software. 

It seemed that no trick has worked yet... any new suggestion or advice? 


Thanks,

-Hui
