You have two hard drives in a laptop? Wow! Since that is so unusual I
must assume the laptop mftr. set it up that way. Perhaps you have one
of the Alienware or Falcon Northwest gaming laptops? I didn't know even
those laptops had two hard drives. In that case, definitely call their
tech support. Otherwise, please post back to this thread with more
details about your system.
