Problems with a live CD

[Andrew Burgess]

My SATA operation is set to AHCI and the only other option is ATA; to switch to that, I need to turn off the Flash Cache Module. Should I change that? Is that what you're talking about, or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Thanks for your help.

  Go into the BIOS and change the SATA operation from RAID only to auto-detect. My problem, same as yours, went away instantly.

    Hi,

    Fredre: I tried typing that in, but it didn't seem to do anything. It just
    put the same message back out.

    Jimbo: I looked around in the BIOS a bit, but I didn't want to mess with
    anything I didn't know about. 

    Thanks for your help. Any other ideas?

    I had the same problem on my Dell Dimension.  I resolved it by going in
    to the BIOS and changing the RAID config around.. for the life of me I
    can't remember what I changed though.
