I am using a 100g drive and it wasn't checking anything...according to the hyperterminal it just froze when it tried to load the os. I did use the big disk builder before installing 3.0 but when I tried to downgrade I went straight from the 3.0....I didn't want to erase all my music and have to reload everything.
