hi all, just asking in case this is a known virus. I turned my pc on tonight and it would not start. Seemed a bios or boot order issue. I unplugged all my usb thumbdrives and my second and third disk drives. Started right up. tried hotpluging the 2nd an 3rd disk drives in but device/disk manager wouldnt see them. rebooted went into bios advanced and all the sata ports had hotswap turned of, which i turned back on and pc started as if nothing ever happened. I never changed this is my bios, especially while I was sleeping. So any ideas why and how this could happen?
bios disabled hot swap overnight

I think it was two unrelated issues.
Hotswap was probably always turned off, its going to be off by default.
Boot order was probably the issue, as unplugging the USB solved it.
That is why you don't do two things before testing. You can't tell if it was the USB or the Drives that did it.
Turn hotswap back off and i bet your PC works just fine.
