Hi Osprey4, man you're every where. :-) I made the check of the jumper. It is placed on the CS pins and fitted correctly. As mentioned, no errors are reported to the event log. This afternoon, for some unknown reason I can explain the PC did boot Windows in safe mode when before it would not. While in safe mode I disabled some PnP services and services related to Roxio. I rebooted back into safe mode successfully. I then changed from PIO Only to "Autodetect/DMA If Available" mode. Reboot PC but Windows locked up on the startup logo screen again. Went back to safe mode to set IDE channel to PIO Only. Reboot, and this time "full" Windows started successfully but remember only because Primary IDE channel is set to PIO. When I tried DMA, it locked up again.
I'm confused as to what is IAA. Need more details and information please.
