Are you sure it's not the BIOS version that causes that problem???
If it's not the BIOS and there's an Update from MS, just do it.
I wouldn't recommend partitioning the drive.

Just a thought.

Go ahead , Partition your drive I have a friend with a 20 gig ssliced into 5 partitions, my chain saw needs sharpening now
with multiple partitons you can have one for your games one for apps and one for downloads etc.
