    Hi all,
    After pressing the media direct button on my m1730 the partition table got invalid. i had to reformat and I profited of this to kill the associated partition but something weird occurred: the 2nd hdd is now detected by the system on prt 2 whilst, i am quite sure, it was on port 1 before!!! how is it possible? Or is it me to wrongly remember?
    An advise on this would be greatly appreciated please!

    P.s.: when i tried to repair the media direct (but then i abandoned the idea) at following reboot the left speaker lit green instead of blue...also this was strange but it is more weird to me the hdd occurrence. i flashed the bios again and nothing changed!!! Thanks
