Press <enter> when it states, then the install hangs and I have to reset to get out. Should SATA be disabled in the BIOS during this stage? or shouldn't it matter? If the latter, then I have another issue with the unit. Have attempted it three times with SATA enabled.	1gkar (6233)

And are you setting them up as raid or leaving as standard? If you are setting up a raid make sure "Serial ATA Function" is set to RAID. If you are setting up as a standard drive make sure "Serial ATA Function" is set to BASE. Finally "Onboard H/W Serial ATA" does need to be set to Enabled	b1naryb0y (3)
