Hi Tidus, I have no other HDDs (just my single SSD). Some reading has me worried that his might be a rootkit, but I'm totally lost as to what to do. CMD is already being run as administrator at that point. I get the message ' there are no fixed disks to show'. Using command prompt from the 'language' screen on W7 install, then: I can get in BIOS and start the W7 install, but am not able to install (no drives are recognized), nor can I repair (again, no drives are found).
I tried setting up my W7 USB again but that has not fixed it. Having my W7 USB plugged in and pressing a key just returns the same message. So I hit reset on my case, get POST but get message: Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key. I could move the mouse around however nothing would respond (clicks, keyboard). So I put in my PCI wireless card, used another computer to download the drivers off Asus' website, put the driver on a USB, plugged in that USB and it froze my computer. Used another USB to try to install AVG antivirus, but apparently you need to be connected to the internet to install. I have no optical drive, installed Windows 7 64 off a USB and successfully started Windows.
I'll try to write concisely so there's minimum wall of text, and I would greatly appreciate any advice.
