Hi
Have you tried altering the bios setup to read both sata & pata disks and
not just sata which its set to by default. It slows the system to the
slowest disk.

Subject: [LUG] DMI Error dual boot
HI all,
I am having trouble with a Foxconn board athlon 64 bios with Dual
boot Linux and Xp.
I have a Sata disk with Xp on and an IDE with Fedora 11 on
If I remove either of the Disks the system boots up fine.
With both disks in the system does
"Varifying DMI data"........
and just stops.
I have got a MBR on each disk (XP user wont use grub), and Linux is
selected from the BIOS boot menu.
Sometimes it works first boot, sometimes it takes three or four boots to
start up either OS any Ideas?
