Does anyone have met the same or similar problem?
I've tried FreeBSD 10 in VirtualBox in my laptop, everything is fine, and then, it was about 3 weeks ago, I decided to install FreeBSD 10 with Windows 8 on the same hard drive as dual boot.

I've went to ask the after sale service of the laptop manufacture for diagnoses, then they told me the HDD was out of order, I just felt strange, so they shown me the result. Remove the problem HDD and connect another one, the laptop responds, and can go into the BIOS. Restore the problem HDD the laptop lost responds, then I bought a new HDD and bring the problem HDD back home, what I guess was maybe the temperature cause the problem.

While, my laptop was bought in 2010, I can sure my laptop is based on MBR boot not the GPT, if, if it's the reason, the source of the problem?
Can someone tell me what is really happened at the behind, if my 2 hard drives really run out of order? if not how to get them come back?
