Been there, tried that! lol
It does have SATA RAID, but the BIOS setting has ALWAYS been set to SATA as IDE...

The BIOS could also have "Boot from other devices" enabled, or something like USB drives. May as well disable every device you can (and remember what those were) and worry about them later.

I think I'm going to stick with Vista for now...

I disabled regular IDE interface (tried enabled too), and disabled boot from other device...
Also disabled boot sector protection and everything else I could think of...

I even tried a regular IDE drive....same blue screen
