Why isn't my computer detecting my integrated graphics?

Hi, I have a DC5750 with AMD Radeon X300 integrated graphics. Awhile ago I got an EVGA GeForce GT 630 w/2gigs vRAM and upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. Since then, I haven't needed to use the integrated graphics until now. But when I try to use that card, it doesn't detect that it's there. I've installed the correct drivers and the catalyst control center but none of those detect it either. Also, it doesn't show up in the device manager at all, not even as a standard VGA adapter. Any thoughts? I tested it a few months back and it was working fine then. I think it has something to do with upgrading to Windows 7.

Definately second checking the BIOS settings. I know for a fact that HP automatically disables intergrated graphics when a discrete one is detected, most others have a preference.

I looked at the bios settings but I didn't see anything that said the video card was disabled. There was something about VGA snooping that I enabled but it didn't change anything. Any other suggestions?
