Edit i changed a csm setting in the bios and it worked. Although now my issue is i have multiple unallocated partitions on my hard drive and 2 which i cannot delete into unallocated. How can i get this drive like out of the box new. Intels secure erase says it does not work in windows 8
I have a 1tb hard drive that originally came with my Lenovo K410 that has OS and recovery partition on it. I cloned the entire disc to my SSD. Now i want to install a bigger SSD and format and sell the smaller one. The problem is i cannot get to my SSD to format it. I have Intel SSD tool box and that only recognizes one disc (whichever one i have connected and or with one got booted on startup) . Disc management from right clicking my computer only shows the hard drive that the computer booted from. I have tried different Sata cords and ports but cannot get both hard drives to show up anywhere at once. The bios seems limited and does not let me set a boot order. It is set to AHCI for the sata controller. BIOS is the only place i can see both drives at once.
