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
