First, please let me tell you that I did an online search for this to no avail.
I installed a fresh new copy of Win 7 64 bit on a fresh new SSD in an old mobo in *AHCI mode*
It works perfectly fine.
Once installed, I wanted to add my old hard disks to the system.
When I physically connect the old disks after logging to windows, it installs them right away as new hardware found.
Everything perfect, the device manager doesn't show any issues and I can access to the data without any issues.
But, when I try to reboot the PC with all the disks connected, it freezes at start up and windows won't start. As a matter of fact it doesn't even let you enter the bios...
What am I doing wrong here?
I read a lot about of the variations of this issue: adding an SSD to an existing system, switching from IDE to AHCI within windows etc...But I couldn't find anything about my problem....
Many thanks in advance for everyone who is willing to help me here...
