Using t30 ultrabay second hard drive.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I have had a thinkpad t30 for years and have been using linux on it as my primary os, however I have a contract job that required the use of windows.
I went out and got a second hard drive for it, but have been getting sick of changing it out all the time.
I found the ultrabay hard drive sled, and bought one so I wouldnt have to keep swapping all the time.
Here is the problem-

The bios sees the second hard drive, however the f12 key does not show a second hard drive under boot options.
When I go to f12 and try any of the boot options, it boots off the primary hard drive, except of course the network boot which tries to find a server to boot off.
How the heck do I get this thing to boot off the second hdd?

Just an update, I tried to just add the os on the second drive to my bootloader, however it will not boot.
So apparently it needs to boot directly off that drive, so the original issue remains.
