I use shape shifter also. my guess is that the max transfer settings on 
your internal drive need to be changed try (0x1fe00) assuming this is 
where you store the ShapeShifter program and Rom. The problem arises 
when shapeshifter tries to load the rom the hard drive goofs up. this 
happened me with a maxtor 7420AV hdd. Unfortunatly even the max transfer 
did not work on this drive replacing it with a seagate device cured the 
problem. Hope this helps you. ;-)
