HDD Stopping And Starting After BIOS Flash?
Apr 7, 2011I flashed my BIOS to try and fix a problem I was having with my computer not POSTing after a cold boot. Ever since, my secondary hard drive will start to spin-up and spin-down repeatedly, once Windows loads. It doesn't do that during POST, or if I'm in the BIOS, or anything; just when Windows is running, which makes me think it's a software, rather than a hardware problem.
I'd installed Windows in AHCI mode, and it had always worked, but now, the above problem goes away if I set my SATA controller to IDE rather than AHCI, in the BIOS.
So I think it might have something to do with Windows not being entirely happy with AHCI after the BIOS update.
System Details:
Mobo: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
BIOS Updated To: Version 3303
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
RAM: 8 GiB DDR3 PC16000
PSU: 850 Watt something or other (can't remember, but it was expensive)
HDD: Primary is 160 GB Western Digital. Secondary is 200 GB Western Digital (can't remember exact details, but they're both 7,200 RPM).
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 64-bit
Flash BIOS From Operating System?
Jun 12, 2012Today, we can flash some BIOS from an operating system. Is this not quite dangerous, nutrient for viruses? When the OS is active, too many processes are active during this critical step and has a good chance something can go awry. I try to update always from the external usb floppy drive or from an usb stick.

Apr 7, 2012I am trying to update the BIOS of my 'ASrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3' from v1.00 to v1.20. I am running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. I got the BIOS file from: [URL]. It did not register the BIOS file I had put on my USB drive when going to my BIOS settings. There is an "Instant Flash" function in there. I have tried to make a bootable USB-drive to do it directly from DOS, but my drive can't be formatted as an MS-DOS boot drive. I have tried using HP DriveKey which seemed to work as intended, but it didn't work, the drive was still not recognized in bios. Do you think it's my drive? I don't have another drive with me right now to try it out. I know this is a not really a Windows 7 issue, but I couldn't find a proper category.

Dec 9, 2012I haven't touched this laptop in a while. I received a virus which then slowed down my computer and made it really really slow to get into the windows log in screen. It wouldn't go past that. Now, 2 months later, I'm trying to install Ubuntu as my only OS. I hope this will get rid of whatever past problem I had. Is this true? The problem with this, is when I power it up and turn it on, the computer only goes to the "Toshiba Leading innovation" H2 BIOS screen. From here, the laptop screen keeps turning black/blank at random intervals (the disk drive kicks up after it turns blank). The screen returns to the BIOS screen... and I keep hitting F12 and nothing.

Dec 19, 2011I have an Asus Eee PC 1005-PE netbook. After dealing with Win7 Starter for a while, I formatted the drive and installed Ubuntu instead. But I decided I needed Windows still, so I dual-booted Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu, since I get a Win7 Pro key for free from my university. I'm trying to sell the netbook now, and I want to erase my data but keep the OS (I don't need to keep Ubuntu on it, just Windows). I would just erase the whole disk and re-install the OS, but I don't have the product key anymore, and product-key retrievals I've tried haven't been able to give it to me for some reason.

I did not do that.
