    Hi, this is my first post and thread. I just recently
    bought a UL30VT-A1 and put in a Intel SSD. I found out that Asus recently
    stopped packing in the recovery discs with the laptop and they now make you create your own AI recovery discs or whatnot from the desktop. I burned the DVDs and I "installed" everything, but when I rebooted, only a black screen comes up with words that say "plug in a boot drive" or something along those lines. Did I do something wrong? What do I do now?

    Did you set your external optical drive at the top of your boot priority sequence in your BIOS?

    Sorry for the massive bump. Yeah, I set the optical drive to boot up first. Installation worked, but rebooting the laptop leads to the "select valid boot drive" thing.
