    I keep getting errors because my laptop does not see my second hard drive. The only way for me to fix this problem is to constantly open my machine and swap hard drives around, - a real pain. Wasn't v207 supposed to fix this issue or what's the deal here with this problem?
    Thanks for your help.

    In the BIOS settings, use the "Load User Defaults" option and save it.
    That resolved a similar problem for me. That's User defaults, not manufacturer defaults.
    It's a common problem after upgrading the system bios, hopefully it works for you.

    Agreed, User Defaults should solve this problem. It's a pity that you had to go through all the trouble of swapping HDDs by not being aware of this solution.

    And it's annoying that the BIOS has such a stupid bug.
