All of a sudden, my VM Gamer's Edge would not boot, after some poking around it seemed that the primary drive (SATA) was not being seen.:eek:

I called VM support this morning and recieved a call back within the hour. A tech named Alfred helped me poke some more around the BIOS (after checking cable connections, etc.) and we determined that somehow my machine had been configured for RAID which I did not have setup. Alfred and I were able to get BIOS re-configured so now everything is fine. So Mr. VM CEO, props to Alfred! :D

Question for you all, what would have caused the bios to be configured for RAID? I hadn't touched BIOS since I bought the machine. Is there a simple config sequence that my 4 year old could have randomly hit?? Is this a sign of some other failure mode I should look into?

thanks in advance.
 
were you poking around in the hardware or bios or anything that may affect the bios?
 
maybe the bios reset randomly, its not impossible, and RAID could have been some stupid default :p
