If it was working before and after that no. Do you remember having played with the BIOS settings? You can disable EFI on the BIOS if you wish. Maybe that's how was installed and then you changed. Once in a while I have a similar issue which I pinpointed to be the same, so I go back && change it to defaults & it works.

	POST_previous script:

	I know what I did in the newest bios: essentially nothing.  It
	was a completely new type of layout, so I remember poking around
	here/there and choosing the "Load Defaults" button!  in other
	words, I chickened out:)
