    hi guys, i'm just a noob and not techy and the problem right now is making me crazy. My A1 specs is same with others having a 1 tb hdd each of 500gb in sata ports. the problem began when i changed my administrator name account and added a guest account,,,the G73 was un-able to detect my other drive.. i looked into the bios under "advanced" then to "sata configuration" and these are just the ports being detected:
    Serial ATA Port 0----------ST9500420AS (500. 1GB)
    Serial ATA Port 1----------MATABD-CMB ATAPI
    and everything else are empty.
    Does this mean that there's something wrong with my 2nd drive inside this thing? and need this thing to be opened,,reconnect the 2nd hd to the port? or RMA which in my mind is quite frustrating.. :confused:
    please help,,any of you guys have experienced this?
    by the way,,i'm still using the A08 bios and have not upgraded to A09 as i'm too scared i might brick this thing...
