is there some funny setting in bios for the P8P67 where it doesn show HDD in windows but detects under device manager, and WD Life Diagnostics

here is my rant about asus mobo pci-e placment
i fit an asus sound card (xonar essence) in its slot and it blocks my main gpu slot, so ok nvm i use the second slot, blocking my other sata ports (highlighted in red)
hence i am limited to 3 sata ports and no x-fire possibility
bloody move the pci-e to the bottom, iirc gigabyte does it below gpu slots

any1 know how to turn down the cpu v core when ocing on the new asus bios
mines running at 1.368v p8p67 LE

not sure this is the right place to ask but ill fire away
anyway so i just got a new pc with the asus mobo p8p67 LE; installed win 7 on it, sole HDD
now after bout 2 weeks of perfectly running, i tried putting in nother hdd, fine it detects them both in bios. Odd thing is now i cant get my win 7 to boot. I tried all combinations of with 1 and(or) 2 hdd , or even the sole main hdd with the OS installed and all i get is either Error loading OS, or insert bootable drive bla bla.
iv run load optimized default in bios, played around with boot priority, swap around sata ports and have not found a solution. How can anything be different if i just leave it at its original single HDD when it ran fine for 2 wks.
want to avoid reinstalling win if i can
edit: im fairly certain this new bios is giving me the run around

thx for the reply, but no i didnt attempt to install win on hdd2
i was gona use it as extra storage, but it does hav remnant old win xp on it
but either way i use any hdd as main priority boot, hdd1 says error loading os, hdd2 says insert bootable media

yeah did that few times , finishes repair and says if repair was successful win shud start normally if not it may start sys repair again
but it never does, goes straight to error loading OS
