The laptop does not see the second hard HDD. What to do?

Question

Samsung

Good afternoon.
Yesterday I bought an SSD, inserted it instead of the HDD, and in turn inserted it into the CD through the optibey.
Immediately upon installation, the BIOS did not see it. In the office that installed it for me, they said that it should be so until I install the system and it picks up everything you need.
I put win 10, everything is fine, everything was visible on the bare system yesterday, the disk plowed.
Then the Windows updates began, the installation of any side effects by Driver Pack Solution ...
Already today, in the system and in the BIOS, I do not observe the second disk, the BIOS happily writes "not installed"
Nobody knows what can be done here?

Answer 1

The BIOS should see the disks whether the system is on or off. I did that too, but somehow everything was fine initially. Try to disable all drives in the BIOS, then enable again. Maybe it's worth updating the firmware?

Answer 2

The problem is similar - SonyVaio VPCEA3AS1R
SSD is installed in place of the standard HDD
HDD in the Chinese adapter for DVD
Bios shows one disk the size of an SSD but is loaded from the HDD! Windows does not see the connected SSD in any way. If I take out the HDD, then everything works fine with the SSD, I connect the box even when it is turned off, even on the fly - it does not see anything.
Those. iron and piece they work and on different connectors, together BIOS and Windows sees just connected when you first turn it on.
Resetting the BIOS has no effect. There are no SATA settings in the BIOS. There is an HDD (without number selection) and DVD, External (flash drives) in the boot. The
utility cannot or does not want to flash the BIOS.
It looks like a branded lochka in nedobios from Sony.
========UPDATE======
I pulled out the HDD with the box, in the BIOS it shows the size of the SSD, loaded it from the SSD, plugged the HDD on the fly and rebooted again. Windows sees everything now. And in the bios it says there is no disk at all. Wonders.

Answer 3

1. Press the combination “WIN + R”, enter “compmgmt.msc” in the free field of the opened window and click “OK”.
2. We find "Disk Management" in the left column and click it
3.
At the bottom of the window, all connected hard drives (disk 0, disk 1) will be listed, including the new one, which is not displayed on my computer.
4. We right-click on the disk which is not visible in my computer. And see the item "Import from someone else's disk"
5. Click OK and you're done. Now it is on my computer.

Answer 4

I have the same problem on an HP laptop - 15-bw647ur.
Bios only recognizes a CD-DVD drive and simply does not include this connector without it.
For example, if the CD-DVD drive was disconnected and the system was booted with the connector disabled because of this, then it does not determine anything from what to try to connect to this connector, even if it is a native CD-DVD drive.
Oops!..
So far I’m doing this:
In order for the BIOS to activate the connector, I keep the CD drive connected in this connector until Windows 10 is fully loaded, and after the system boots, I pull out the CD drive and stick the tray with the HDD in its place and it is detected.
I don't like my method because I have to do it every time I turn on the laptop.
The whole problem is in the BIOS, I need to flash it, especially since there is already a version of F.52, and I also have F.22 but it is not flashed.
More precisely, it is sewn, but then, due to the fact that it fails to check the stitched image, it cancels all the changes made ...

Answer 5

Try deactivating the disk (disk partition/volume) with a program like Acronis. It happened to me when both disks had partitions marked as active. Now I left the active partition only on the disk with the operating system (on the system partition), and everything started loading the first time.

Acer emashinrs e640g optibay 12.7 and old toshiba disk + ssd. The ssd is visible, the disk is not visible in the BIOS. The system takes a long time to load. Disk management says disk 0 no data. Doesn't let you initiate. Error crashes
