Try enabling "hot plug" in UEFI BIOS on the SATA port that your 1TB HDD is connected to.

Plug your 1tb hard drive with the backup into an esata port on backplane of your motherboard. Should pickup just fine and boot into recovery with your win7 cd/usb

Might want to set the controller your cdroms are on to ide see if that makes a difference with them on startup.

Well I plug the 1tb hdd with hot swap enable and if I plug it while I'm on windows it freeze al the system.
If I let it plugged and reset, then I can't get further than te log on with the Asus rog.

And another issue is that if I leave as first boot device the optical drive and as second the hdd with the os. The system stays freeze trying to boot with the optical no matter if it doesn't have anything inside. Seems like the bios can't get to the another boot device if the first one didn't boot. That's weird.
And if I left a cd in the optical drive, the system check of it is booteable and if it isn't it goes within 5sec to the another boot device.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
