Installed 3rd internal drive, now 2nd drive say's needs formatting
This version of Lenovo IdeaCenter K430 has a Hot-Swappable HDD. I do not use it so I decided to use the sata cable for an SSD.
I installed an SSD = (SanDisk Ultra II 480GB SATA III 2.5-Inch). I also changed the BIOS to look for ACHII so it would see the SSD.
At Bootup it saw the SSD and I installed a new OS =(windows 7 Professional).
I rebooted again and saw the SSD C: and one of my previous 3.5" drives but the 2nd 3.5" was recognized as F: and was unknown.
I looked in "Manage" and it indicates that F: is RAW. However there are 6 other partitions on the drive.
I will add a pic of how the drive looks in "Manage".
A pic of the Hot-swapplabe drive bay.
A pic of the machine spec's.
Hope to hear from you, Thank you in advance,
Moseley
