    Hi,

    I've had my UX32VD about 1 year now, and I've installed Windows 7 on the integrated 32 GB iSSD, as per this guide. It has worked great, the only problem has been occasional BSOD with the "KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR" text (this has happened maybe 1-2 times per month, not a big problem). Well, the other day it happened again, and I turned the computer off, as usual. Previously, the computer has booted like normal after the BSOD, but not this time. Now, it refuses to boot up, instead it goes right to the BIOS. In the BIOS, under the Boot tab, there are no options for me. Also, pressing esc during the ASUS picture, which lets you choose boot device, only gives me the option of entering setup, implying the computer cannot boot from the iSSD anymore. Under Advanced -> SATA Configuration, both the Hitachi HDD and the 32 GB iSSD are listed, so the iSSD is acknowledged by the computer.

    I know a lot of users in this forum have got the UX32VD, with Win7 on the iSSD. Therefore, I thought maybe some of you might have some advice for me, to get it up and running again. Considering how much time I've spent freeing up space on the C drive and making adjustments in general, plus all the files I would lose, I would really prefer not to start from scratch, installing windows again.
