    Hi guy, I encountered a weird problem. My second HDD was not recognized when I first got the notebook, so I called the tech support and I was told to update the system BIOS. I did so and everything was fine until earlier today, when I entered BIOS to check something. I quit BIOS without making any changes whatsoever, but was stunned to find out it was not in Windows when I restarted. I tried and restarted the notebook several times, tried loading the setup defaults in BIOS, but nothing seems to work. I though I might just flash the BIOS with older version and flash again with the latest, but the Asus flash utility won't do that, it keeps telling me I cannot flash with BIOS with the same or older date... Any help or insight on how to fix this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Problem solved, thought might be helpful ... just unplug the laptop and remove the battery for a few minutes, everything seems fine now
