trouble enabling boot options of DVD and USB in 2.01.1204 v 203...
#1
Hello,

I am new to this forum so I hope I am putting this question in the right subforum. If not excuse me.

I have an ASUS laptop G74SX which has run perfectly for nearly 2 years.

Recently I got the BOOTMGR missing message after a BSOD and I can't get into Windows7 any longer.

This PC has BIOS 2.01.1204 and I flashed it to the latest verion on ASUS support page version 203. ( I have no idea if a BIOS is generic to the market or if ASUS uses their own BIOSes in their machines?)

In any case my problem is that I want to use a bootable DVD or a bootable USB but the BIOS can't locate the DVD-players (it doesn't show up in the BIOS) nor do the USB flash drive but at least the Flash drive can be seen in the bootable options before you enter the BIOS.

In this BIOS there are very few settings you can change overall. I don't get why the DVD player (which works) can't be found by the BIOS or why the bootable USB-flash drive wont start when you pick it from the boot menu.

Does anyone know what settings I should use in the BIOS or what I should do to repair the BOOTMGR when the BIOS refuses to use both the DVD player and the USB drivers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

Well. I finally managed to set the BIOS so that I coudl boot from the USB-stick and start the win7 installation. The only problem now is that I can't choose the system SSD HDD to intall win7 unto but only the secondary (and original) HDD where there is no earlier win7. The strange thing is that I can see both HDDs in the BIOS SATA set up. Maybe you BIOS gurus can help me explain why the BIOS can see both HDDs but the win7 installation program can only see the secondaty HDD (where I don't want to place win7 since all I want to do is repair the bootmgr.

Also what will happen if I make a second separate windows installation on the storage HDD (#2) just to get acccess to my PC at all? Would it ruin my set up or could I delete the second win version after I fix my first?

And is my system disk broken now that I can't install windows on it even if I can see it in the BIOS?
