Greetings,

I configured a laptop sata hdd as primary drive. I also setup desktop sata hdd as secondary/slave drive withiout pins. But only laptop sata drive is by default loading. I am not able to see secondary hdd (desktop sata hdd) when os is loading.

Bios is showing both drives.

My question is do i have to put pins for slave desktop hdd while no pin for master laptop hdd.

This is on a desktop Dell optiplex gx620.
toshiba laptop hdd as primary
seagate laptop hdd as slave.

THanks for your time.

I mean 2 hdd are not shown after bios screen. I am thinking 2 hdd should be shown after bios screen just like 2 partitions. Or should I just use 1 hdd at a time instead of connecting both hdd and turn on pc.?

I'm still not getting this "after bios screen".

They both appear in Disk Management, right?
