All the boot information it was containing must be gone before you power on the laptop for the second time, after the SSD install, otherwise either only the old OS installed on the HDD would show up or neither the old nor the new OS would boot up!
If yes, make the SATA cable pass through its retaining hole on the base enclosure. Lay down the HDD. Grabbing the plastic tab of the SATA cable with a pair of tweezers, move it in order to properly lay its blue final part in the ZIF connector: its two blue bottom corners should match the white squares of the connector. Now keep the final part of the cable correctly positioned with the tweezers and using a spudger with the other hand, flip down the small black locking flap of the hard disk's ZIF connector.
Good job. All the credits for this method go to the user bwillet who managed to make this hardware upgrade already seven years ago, thanks! Cancel: I did not complete this guide. One other person completed this guide.
Badges: I did those in The very same thing… But if i only put ssd and install windows.. Then it boots up normal.. Again i put the hdd and tried to boot.. It didn't boot… Then later i put both ssd and hdd… And installed Windows again on ssd it worked and i can now see both drives… But again if i take out hdd and try to boot only from ssd.. Then again i can't boot… Once i put the hdd back.. Then i can again Boot.. That is the problem I think, but I am a beginner and not an IT expert. If we could set the mSATA drive to be loaded before the hard disk drive, the problem would be solved, once and for all, and you could remove the HDD as many times as you wish, without boot problems.
If I understood well, you wrote Then later i put both ssd and hdd… And installed Windows again on ssd it worked and i can now see both drives… But again if i take out hdd and try to boot only from ssd..
I do not understand why at that point, if it works, you take the HDD out again. In my case, the workaround I described in this guide works perfectly since last January. Since this time, in which it made it, every time I switch on the laptop the system launches perfectly with both drives and no conflicts. In my case, the black screen disappears when I boot for the second time. If I reassemble the laptop and put both drives at the same time, and I try to boot, it never boots and that black screen with that message always appears, no matters how many times I reboot.
Following this reassembling procedure is ok to me, I do not need to disassemble the drives often and the fact of launching the system once, with the SSD only before being able to reinsert the HDD, looks only like a small drawback in reassembling the laptop to me.
But I understand that if you need to disassemble the HDD often, it becomes annoying. I want the msata to be additional space. When i did that, i get non disk raid menu and then OS boots, but comes to a blue screen and says pc ran out of problem.

Shut down your system. Once your system has been powered off, unplug the power cable. Hold down the power button for seconds to discharge residual electricity. Remove the case cover from your desktop. Refer to your system's manual for how to do this. Do not force the connection. If screws are included with your motherboard, screw the mSATA drive into place.
For mSATA sockets that use clips to hold the drive securely in place, make sure the clips snap into place around the drive. Once your mSATA drive has been securely fastened, replace the case cover and reconnect the power cable. Power on your system.
