Maybe chaning the A20 gating from normal to fast or changing the > bus speeds or anything? i don't know how to tweak bios things for this model -- there is a way to change various settings (press f1 while turning the machine on and keep f1 pressed) such as boot device order, but i have not successfully located any setting that seems related to a20 gating. there really doesn't appear to be a whole lot one can change from these screens. perhaps there is some other way of altering settings? > My first thing to try is making note of all BIOS settings and then setting > them to factory default and trying again.
