Hi,

 

I seem to have an issue with the 2nd HDD (WD500 BS).

 

Once I have farmatted the HDD ML Recognizes the Drive OK, but after a While using it or its Data the ML does not mount the drive anymore. I can check the drives and ML says the drive is damaged. Repair aborts repairing.

 

Does someone has a thought about this issue.

 

thanks

Hi Bronxteck,

 

I have checked the bios for the module bay and there is only the option to switch it on or off.

 

But it can well be that the laptop does not shut down correctly. Then it hangs while shutting down with the white screen.

 

 

May be I should play arround with the edp stuff. Is it correct that the acpi is responsible for the shutting down part?

 

Or is there something elese I should take care off?

 

Thanks

Madmax,

 

I recently put a 2nd HD bay in my M4300 too. I had been using it in a usb external drive. I had a few problems with it at first. It was able to mount, but when I tried to look at anything on it, I got the "spinning beach ball." I restarted and received an error that there was something wrong with the 2nd bay drive. I shut down completely. Pulled out the bay. Made sure all connections were tight and restarted. Haven't had a problem since.

 

You might just want try a simple check to make sure things are seated properly and try it again.

 

HTH!! ;)

Nov 8 20:30:58 localhost bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1352403058 0

 

 

This is the last sequence when It hanged while shutting down.

 

I needed to use the hardware switch to kill it.

The HDD was already parked.

 

Please assist.
