have you checked to see if the ahci is enabled/disabled? it may have changed when you updated the bios

1 insert your windows installation disc and resatart your comp
2 choose your language
3 click repair
status :0xc000000e
the boot selection failed because a required deviceis inaccessible

i have a z68 ud3p so it may be similar

restart the pc and press 'delete' to get into the bios
once the blue menu pops up go to 'integrated peripherals;
then look for 'PCH sata control mode' set it to AHCI
press F10
you should notice the AHCI screen come up during post, that should work if not go back in the bios and make sure your drive with windows on is set as primary boot drive.
