Perhaps the words old and new are confusing me.
At one time you had a drive in the computer and all was ok.
Later you added a second drive and now nothing works.
If that is true, then remove the second drive.
Does the system function correctly now? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite L305D laptop
