installed win 7 on asus g50vt and cant get drivers for base system device and wont recognize 2nd hard drive either.

Here is the download page for drivers. Click on "driver & tools." Then input the version of Windows you have 7 32 bit/64 bit and go from there. I would install the ASUS update utility and see what that brings up for updates.

Thank you for your reply/help. I tried those options including downloading everything Asus had to offer twice. After some research I tried switching my bios to optimal default. Rebooted pressing the TAB key I believe sent me to a screen that allowed a memory test. Reminded me of chkdsk. So after the test which showed no errors I rebooted again expecting to go into the bios and make SATA native enabled and to diasable Legacy but I let Windows start all the way instead to check test results and Ta Da. There was my formatted 2nd hard drive ready n waiting. Not sure exactly why this worked but thanks again
