Some of these require the BIOS to be set to "stock", default

For example a friend had this issue (another model) and for unknown reasons they had changed the SATA "MODE". Putting it to the other mode fixed it but we had to run the restore CD again.

Too bad the stop error number was not shared as the usual 0xa has me think it's the same old thing.

Sorry but I didn't find a manual.

This means you'll have to look around the bios screens for a default or try looking for a SATA mode option.
