    Hey,

    Firstly I appologize if there is another topic like this one but I couldn't scroll through all the posts.

    Background:
    I installed a SSD (Corsair Force F120) drive into my G51jx the other day, at first the computer didn't recognize the drive at all. So I formated it in my Stationairy compuer and now the BIOS in my laptop found it. Started the win7 installer and tried to install. The install didn't recognize the drive. I rebooted and entered BIOS, now it wasn't there either!

    I rebooted and entered BIOS again. Voila, there it was again.

    I got through the windows installation until the point you had copied all the files and rebooted to install them. Now the disk wasn't found... again.
    The error message said that there was no BOOTMGR so a friend told me that i might have to format the drive as primary drive.
    After doing this i actually got windows to start AND work! Yeay!


    NOW! The problem:
    The problem remains.... But now its every time I coldboot, the drive is not found. Everytime... 100% reproducable.
    All i have to do is shut my computer off, wait 3-4 minutes so the computer cools of and then start it again. Then i get "please insert bootable drives or media".

    I can just hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and reboot and it loads up normally.
    But its frustrating as HELL that I have to do this every time i haven't had my computer on...

    Does anyone have any thoughts about what might cause this?
    Is my bios check too fast? How do I fix this?
