Hello! I bought a HP Envy DV7 7212nr notebook and, when i tried to format it, I wasnt able to see any HD when i was booting on Legacy Mode with a Windows 8 DVD. Then i deleted the RAID configurations on the BIOS on a attempt to see the disks and, after that, made a bios flashing. Still not been able to see them and after conducting extensive research, I acquired a pen drive with FAT32 Windows 8 instalation and the HD (Intel Rapid Storage) driver, downloaded from HP's website, to boot the windows in UEFI mode..
After booting the USB stick, loaded drivers (Intel Rapid Storage) and was finally able to recognize the HDD and do the formatting .. I finished installing Windows, I installed the other drivers(video, audio, chipset,..), resetting several times the notebook. However, after powering the notebook off after 12 hours, I came across the screen "no bootable device" .. And the automatic repair of the Windows 8 cannot recognize the HD to do the repair..
I tried to put the notebook in the Legacy mode and reformat again using a DVD, it worked, after the formatation i installed all the drivers again.. But after i power off the notebook by 12 hours, the same result.. "no bootable device"..
In both ways the SSD was recognized and used as a cache to speed up the HD within Windows, but after a while with the notebook off, i get the "no bootable device" screen..
Can anyone help me? thanks in advance!
