    Hi,
    It starts after I uninstall “Game pack Console” and the MS games like Mahjong etc.., after restart function button doesn’t work anymore, also Smart Logon had the same problem. Then I tried to recover system using recovery DVD’s which I had prepared during first installation. Everything looked fine until progress bar reach 95 % (5th DVD) and I had “Failure to recover ….., Error 1029. After more attempts I decided to swap hard drives between them, and recovery status went to 100 % but after restart computer was frozen after bios loaded (only cursor blinking in the left top corner).
    Also I tried to recover system with only one hard drive installed, but without any success.
    I format both HDD and tried to installed a fresh copy of windows, but when ask about location, looks like I cannot see any of the drives and I’m asked to load mass storage device driver (I don’t find this on any of the recovery DVD’s and Driver & Utilities DVD).
    Again I tried recovery DVD’s and this time I’m asked to remove one of the HDD and restart boot sequence; I did, and error 1029 “Failure to recover from ASUS recovery DVD” appears immediately at start of the recovery process.
    Any suggestion?
