I'll just stop by the lab later today and write down my BIOS settings for reference. I'm pretty sure I had USB and SATA enabled, Firewire disabled but we'll see.


Best regards,

Out of curiosity I did it right away, here my details:

BIOS settings
(this is probably with a lot of unrelated settings, but I wanted to make sure the interesting stuff is really there, so I wrote down everything)

If you have some settings different dont ask me why I made a choice, it was either default or accidental or I intended to disable the specific functionality... but it works ;-)
