Hello everyone,
I will try describe the problem the shortest I can with as much information as I can, and really hope someone would take time to post me some suggestions.
I recently purchased a Lenovo Laptop with a 1TB 16GB (ssd) Seagate SSHD.
It had already Windows 8 pre installed and was (to me) strangely partitioned, had some ETI partition, Recovery partition one other that i cant remember the name and 2 normal partitions for storage C and D.
So I wanted to replace that built in SSHD with a 240gb SSD and I opened up the laptop and just normally replaced it but when I turned it back on I realized it was booting in some spacial way that I am not familiar with. It kept asking for that ETI partition. So in BIOS i just changed boot from UXXX (I don't remember whats the other 3 letters) to Legacy Support (I think that's what its called) and managed to install a clean copy of WIndows 8 Pro on my SSD and everything works just fine.
But, the SSHD that I removed from the laptop just won't appear in BIOS on my Desktop nor my other laptop, it won't work even when I put into a portable HDD USB case thing.
Does anyone know whats going on with it and what my options may be. I was planning on using that drive as a portable storage.
Cheers!
Todd
