Hello,
I've bought sata-sata optical bay caddy, installed in my Acer Aspire 5553g
When I connect second hdd(using caddy), laptop freezes at bios POST checks, no errors, but when it should boot up Operating System nothing happens. As normally it shows Press F2 to enter setup. If I press it, laptop reacts, shows entering setup and again - nothing happens. I can`t even enter bios setup!!.
If I connect just 1 hdd, no matter which one or in caddy or not, everything works fine, hdd speed is good(so caddy works).
Tried:
- update bios to newest
- format second hdd
- connect second hdd on working laptop
- changed various settings in bios setup, saved, just then connected second hdd.
- press many times F2 to enter bios setup earlier
- flashed modified bios no succes
in bios says that max number of hdd's is 8 . although he have just 2 SATA physically on motherboard. IT seems that somewhere in bios is some stupid option is ON that he needs to recognize 2. sata device as ODD and that making freeze s+++ situation.
Please help
