Dump the Disk Drive Overlay. You will only have problems forever. Buy
yourself a PCI ATAPI/IDE controller card. These "by-pass" the BIOS limiations
since they have their own BIOS to control the access to the hard drive.

D.D.O. will not work with GoBack since both need to be placed at the beginning
of the hard drive.
