Every BIOS is different, and the setting may not necessairly be labelled "Enable 32-Bit Disk Access". It could be along the lines of "High Speed Access" or "Advanced Configuration", etc.

That is, of course, assuming that the BIOS exposes that particular option to the user.

Have you tried locating and installing an updated BIOS for you machine?

I'm kind of unsure how to do this. Would my HP update automatically do this or is it something that I would have to seek out on the HP site?

I do not use HP machine, so I'm not too sure if their Update software will do so automatically. But if it is anything like ASUS, then at the very least it will have the facility to load a new BIOS that you manually downloaded from the HP site.

Just use extreme caution doing so, because using the wrong BIOS could turn your machine into a brick. Be 100% sure that a BIOS update is what you need, and that you have downloaded the correct one, which should NOT be a BETA BIOS.

If you are uncertain of the procedure, perhaps it may be best to ask a friend to help, or take the machine to your nearest computer repair shop and have them do it for you?

BTW, here is an MS article regarding this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952681

Quote:

During the rebalancing process, the system does not configure the Max
Payload Size value correctly on the root port of the PCI Express bus.
The incorrect value causes a mismatch between the root port of the PCI
Express bus and the device on the PCI Express bus. Therefore, the
operating system triggers a Machine Check Architecture (MCA)
exception, and the operating system returns a "0x00000124" exception.

The hotfix updates files pci.sys, mssmbios.sys, swenum.sys, ...
These files are updated again in the hotfix KB956115 to build 6.0.6001.22233
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956115

Quote:

You have at least one PCI Express card that does not fully support Active
State Power Management (ASPM) inserted.
....
For example, a CPU IERR error may occur.

Regards, Roman

P.S. Is this already patched in Windows 7 beta?

I'm having the same problem with my new pc, but I'm not a really
