I need HELP!!(7200.11 users!)

The story, I turned my PC off yesterday windows 7 installed one or two updates. I slept. Woke up, turned the PC on saw a message saying insert boot device.

I'm using the 1104 asus bios with a 1tb barracuda , I checked to see if the drive is recognized, it isn't. I'm only able to see my DVD drive, can someone give me steps to troubleshoot the drive??

Thanks in advance,

Uh-oh. Head in the sand
Been all over everywhere for the last few months!
This'll get you started..

Thanks for that...

I'm always 'looking after' my drive's i.e defragmenting & cleaning, but I never think about drivers, to me updates and drivers are Graphics, Mobo and CPU.

I think I've learnt my lesson, judging by the complexity of the fix. WOW!!
