Acer Aspire AO722 bios does not recognize new SSD until bios entered each boot up

Installed Sandisk Extreme 11 240Gb, copied partitions over using Acronis Home (without the recovery partition) restore from backup, Win 7 64bit.

The bios on a cold start or reboot does not recognize the SSD, however after entering the bios and F10 exit (SSD not recognized - None for drive), the system recognizes the SSD on self boot (Serial ATA Port 0: Sandisk SDS....)!  ie. if bios is immediately re-entered upon reboot after F10 exit the SSD shows up in the bios.

 

Very odd behavior.  Updated bios from 1.05 to 1.11 no difference.  Tried firmware Firmware_Acer_1.0_W7x64W7x86_A.zip but that is a WD patch.  No other similar posts on this forum or found on internet.  SSD is current version R1311.

 

Only thing different from original Hitachi Hdd is I did not include recovery partition....

 

Any help would be appreciated!

    Must be some incompatibility with the current firmware 1311. SSD was flattened and cold boot up was the same- no bios recognition. Win7 fresh install. Same issue. RMA time...
