Hi everyone. I have an Asus G73JW which runs on Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Some time ago my computer simply would not boot windows at all. Sometimes upon attempting to boot it would give me recovery options, but sometimes it would not even allow that.(Like allowing me to use F2,F9, etc.) so I used the F9 option to perform windows recovery. The computer now boots up, but only when I remove the battery and power supply, hold the power button for 30 seconds, and then plug in the power supply and power it. So once the computer turns off, whether it's going to sleep or into hibernation, I still have to do the hard reset. Here is some additional information that might be of use: Under advisement I did a second windows recovery to partition it to both hard drives. When I recovered it the first time while only reformatting a single hard drive, all of the files were left on the laptop. When I partitioned it to both the second time, half of the files were gone. I mean any files from C had gone, but files still remained on the second hard drive from before. I hope this information will suffice and is not too lengthy. Thanks so much for any help. I would love to be able to boot up my computer without issues. Thanks again
