I have seen systems stop at this message due to not having a valid MBR. If the drive works in one system and not in another it is usually due to not having the correct bios settings for the drive. DO NOT USE AUTO. You must have the settings that work on one system [heads, cyliners, sectors per track] on the new system or the drive geometry will be off due to a different controller and how it views the drives layout. So you can have a valid MBR but when the new contrller looks its not landing in the correct spot to find it.
