    When I updated the A03 bios, it killed my mbr on my RAID setup. I have never been able to recover the respawn...

    To fix my respawn (before moving it to an external drive for backup) I used acronis disk manager and set the respawn partition to primary.. then when I rebooted it went straight to that one (skipped windows).. I was then able to respawn then copy that to an external HD then reinstall win7

    There is a guide somewhere on these boards that tells you how to do the same thing.. I will update this post if I find it.
