I just installed a secondary hdd today, followed the step here: *Guide* How to install a secondary hard drive on your M14x w/ Pics! I am also using the same hdd caddy (fenvi) used in the tutorial. Everything worked very well except the boot time now is very very slow. The system is installed in a vertex 4 ssd, normally without the secondary hdd, the boot time is about 5-10 seconds after seeing the windows flag. Now with the secondary hdd plug in, it took about 3-5 minutes to desktop after seeing the windows flag. the secondary hdd i am using is the one came with the laptop. I believe it is a western digital 750g black. The bios I am using is the modded A08 bios (with A05 sata drivers). every setting is default. (Can be found here: http://forum.techinferno.com/alienwa...-sata-fix.html ) BTW, I have RST installed, SSD with latest firmware, and no system in the HDD. Did anyone experience the same or similar problem?
