Well I just finished installing the 40 gig into an old dell, putting Windows 7 home prem. on it, then installed it in the asus-- when turned on, the asus goes straight to bios--- SO---- I am reluctant to fool with a drive that at least does work{ even if it does run windows 8}. I have several drives to play with and am retired so if ANYONE has any ideas on what might work --- PLEASE help!

•Switch to "Boot" and set “Launch CSM” to Enabled and PXE rom to Enable
•Press F10 to save and exit.
•Press and hold ESC key to launch boot menu when the notebook restarts.
