    I just got an Aspire 5 A517 with 1TB SSD and added a HDD from previous laptop which I can't access to.

    The old HDD is not password protected. In BIOS it shows password clear. BIOS shows it as a HDD normally.

    Before POST screen it shows me a sign: abnormal status reported by rapid storage technology uefi driver

    Device manager doesn't recognise it in Windows, nor Disk management.

    Intel Optane shows the disk but is showing something like array not available. The disk was never used in RAID array. Only as an additional storage in old laptop.

    I tried to google, youtube etc, but no luck so far :/

    In old laptop it works like charm. Here is the screen from OLD laptop for that particular disk: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4a6z2zm317nooa4/screen.JPG?dl=0
