I have been at this for weeks. I am moving a copy of my Win 7 install to the P8Z77-V Deluxe MB. I used a backup software system that purports to do this transfer. Not so much.
I finally have a functioning (sort of) system. Things seem to work, except for one non-trivial thing. The BIOS recognizes all of the attached optical and hard disk drives. The operating system (win 7 64) only sees the boot drive.
I have installed essentially all of the drivers from the Asus web site. I have gone to device manager and disk management and told it to scan for new hardware. Nothing. It just does not see them.
Anyone have an idea for me to try?
So far the only thing I can think of is to try upgrading to Win 8 and see if the installation process resolves the problem. But I really do not want Win 8 until I see if Win 8.1 resolves the hideousness of Win 8. And that is at least a month away. Note: I really don't care if you like Win 8. Not the question being addressed.
