This could be HPA (Host Protected Area) related. I have a feeling the
bootloader/bootsector (BEER) that does the nvram Access IBM detection is also
responsible for enabling/disabling the HPA. Windows maybe barfing if this
hasn't been done---possible ways to test are to change the settings in the BIOS
and see if that affects the ability to proceed.
