    Hi Guys.

    I am a newbie on here.

    -Motherboard Manufacturer and Model :Medion Akoya P4020 D (German) but looks like an MSI all in one Wind Top clone. Probably made in China
    -Bios Revision : v 02.67. in setup, it says Bios version A7261MLN.208
    -Bios Type :AMI
    -Bios SLIC :Dunno what a SLIC is ?
    -Bios Link : No link identified.

    The supplier/manufacturer has stopped talking to me after the touch screen software played up and their advised fix did not work.

    The motherboard is twin sata, one for a 1 terabyte HDD and one for a notebook type CD-DVD drive.

    I have reassigned the sata 2 to an eSata output to a HDD dock and put the CD-DVD drive in a USB housing.

    All works fine but the ability to dual boot is disabled. The second HDD is recognised and disabled for boot whichever sata port I plug it into.

    I cannot find a setting in bios which adjusts this disabling. reworking the boot sequence does not help.

    It refers to a 'corresponding type menu' as being where this disablement occurs but gives no access to any such type menu.

    The result is a BSOD after initial boot of the second drive. Win 7 on both drives and startup repairs don't help.

    Nor does BCD edit or Vista Boot pro. The drive works fine for storage but, no boot.

    I am fairly convinced that it is a Manufacturers fix in the bios but I just cannot see a reason for it.

    Am I obliged to plead with a non responsive supplier to fix this? Or is there another way?

    FYI, I predate the home PC by quite a few years but used to be a mainframe hardware specialist.

    Haven't worked in dos since the mid eighties.

    Any advice appreciated.
