[QUOTE="Roadtrekie, post: 63684, member: 1841"] I tried the following: Changed SATA connections--I have 4 3G's. No effect. Changed cable: No effect. Per advice of ASUS, who made the MB and the drive, I reset the CMOS and flashed the BIOS to their most current version: No effect. After rebooting several times, once getting a bluescreen, another getting a DOS message that went by too fast for me to read it, I switched the drive cable to a 6G port (it's a 3G drive). On reboot, I have access to the drive, but it still doesn't show up in the SATA drive info of the BIOS. It DOES show up as a bootable device, and works, at least for now. I'm not sure what's going on but will check with ASUS when I have some time, having lost too many days already to deal with it at the moment. Thanks for all your help and, if you ever find a person who thinks spreading viruses is fun, I'll help with the lynching. Roadtrekie [/QUOTE]
