Oops, sorry! I must have made a mistake when posting. Here is my original post:
Hi, everyone. Ok, so I put in a 2nd hdd in my toshiba L21 using an Optical Bay HDD Caddy. I can't see it if I boot up with the caddy connected.
It's really weird; if I boot with it connected the first thing I see is CD ROM ERROR and then Windows 7 loads normally. Once I'm in windows, no trace of the 2nd drive. In fact, the Intel software says that internal port 1 is empty.
If I disconnect the caddy and re-connect it's the same; no trace of it either in Computer, Device Manager or Disk Management. However, if I disconnect, re-boot and THEN re-connect (in Windows), the Auto-Play window pops up asking what I want to do.
It's the weirdest thing! I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
