    hei

    after i upgraded my bios to 213 all of a sudden windows cant find my second hdd

    im my setup i have a 350gb 7200rpm as primary and a 350gb 5200rpm as storage.

    i can see both in bios but not in windows and neighter in ubuntu.

    also when i turn on the pc the ROG logo pubs up 2 times its kinda wird, and expressgate dosent work proberly, none of the icons work so its kinda useless.

    if someone can help me i would be very happy :)

    common bug, this is what "search" is for.
    load User Defaults in bios.

    try the reset button on the bottom of the case (a little under the "this lamp contains mercury" warning). then User Defaults again. also make sure its listed there.
