That could be the problem. You can get some odd
effects with the AUTO drive settings and a drive
thats bigger than the 8GB limit the bios can handle.

The system can gets rather confused at boot time trying
to boot the drive and cant see it properly, so it claims there
is no OS on it because the drive isnt being mapped properly.

Can you try it in a PC thats got >8GB support just to check the basics ?

Probably best to scrub the drive with clearhdd from
http://www.samsungelectronics.com/support/hdd/utilities/utilities_03.html
because there is some geometry info in the first physical sector of the drive.

If that works fine on a PC that supports drives over 8GB,
and the laptop doesnt have >8GB support either, you
should be able to do it all in the laptop and avoid the
confusion that the P150 is adding to the story.
