Hi
I am using a 250gb hard drive...its from a laptop, one I used for testing. I can put a new hard drive in and give it a whirl see if that would make a difference. I think I fixed the core/mem issue ... reading correctly now. I changed the PCIEX16_1 to GEN 2 seems to be working ok.
Update: Tried the upgrade again and it worked only thing it would not reboot....had to hit reset...Everything looks good...
