i just brought this hard drive with stock 640gb hdd and 6gb ram and then upgraded the ram 16gb and added 128GB SSD and 750GB WD black
the problem is that the 2nd HDD which is the 750gb WD will appear in cold boot for a couple of minutes then it will dissaper and even if i restart wont appear again what can i do?:(
So what your saying is no matter how you configure it, the WD drive doesn't appear, but the ssd does? sounds like a dead drive. But before we come to conclusions, maybe you should test the wd drive on a different pc, like a desktop.
Maybe a drive firmware incompatibility??? Try checking for updates to the drive firmware in addition to updating the BIOS and chipset drivers. Check the BIOS to see if the drive appears there reliably. If it always appears in the BIOS, the drive and SATA channel are likely good. If not, start looking at BIOS issues or hardware channel problems.
I too, am having this problem. I sent my g73jh to the Asus "royal club" customer support center for a week. They tested my computer with another hard drive. It worked perfectly fine. When they plugged in my 750GB WD Black (Advance format) it started having problems again. They reinstalled bios (not sure if its the same version or they updated it) and it is still having this trouble.
I'm going to try to install new drivers for the chipset and whatnot like you guys recommended. If i don't post back means didn't work. Any other additional things I can try to get it to work?
nope i tested the hdd on a different computer and works fine and put a different hdd and does the same thing its something in the chipset or in the bios
