The error doesn't necessarily refer to your sata drive but could potentially
refer to the cd drive. I had this same bsod until I changed the dvdrw drive I
was using for installation. Apparently the atapi driver included with beta
does not work with my NEC ND-3540a drive OR it does not work with a cdrom
drive that is a master ( I have 2, so this one is master, and I ended up
using the slave drive for installation )
