Jimmydafreak. Your solution was the first thing I tried after conventional reset. IT WORKED!! You're the greatest. Thank you for saving me hours of troubleshooting. Two Thumbs Up!!
Thank you Jimmy for responding. But, my problem is that I can't get into BIOS. It keeps asking me for a password that I never set. I think it's a manufacturer thing.
I have the exact same computer. And low and behold my disks are stopping at the exact same spot! It's driving me crazy! Did you ever find a solution? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you share with me. Thank you Sir.
