SYMPTOMS

When you are running the hardware detection portion of Setup, or when you select the Automatically Detect Installed Hardware option in the Add New Hardware Wizard, the computer stops responding (hangs).

RESOLUTION

Select the Install Specific Hardware option in the Add New Hardware Wizard or Setup, and then do not choose to detect SCSI cards or CD-ROM controllers.
