Problem with new computer seeing the hard drive
I have a new Asus M32 desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with 2 partitions. I was using a program Partition Wizard and I clicked align the partitions, then I couldn't boot up anymore or get into the bios. Removing the hard drive got me into the bios, but I didn't know what to do, so I called support and they said ship it to us and they would try to fix it. I took the hard drive and put it into a seven year old Dell Vostro and it recognized the hard drive. I deleted the partitions, put it back in the Asus and it was recognized again and all is fine. Why did align the partitions cause this to happen? Could this have been corrected within my Asus without removing the hard drive and using another computer? Thank you.
