Okay, I have the same problem as described above. The difference is I have placed
the HDD in a completely different system. still hangs at bootup. I have ghosted the
the HDD to a brand new HDD - still hangs. I have tried the disable mup solution and
the reset escd solution. From what I'm experiencing, everything points to the data
on the drive. New drive with ghosted image of old one. same problem. known good mobo/proc.
same problem. I think the other solutions have been either luck or all of these reported
hangs are completely unrelated. Who knows? any thoughts?
