    So, I installed a 2nd hard drive in my laptop. It is the g51 rx05 best buy edition.
    When I turn it on it shows the ROG logo, then is about to boot up. Then it restarts and shows the ROG logo again. After that, my windows starts up. When it is in its first ROG logo time, my 2nd hard drive appears, but after the second time it disappears. What am I supposed to do to get it to work?

    go into bios, reset to user defaults. reboot. before entering the OS, reboot again and reset to user defaults a second time. this should fix it.

    It now shows up in windows.

    Can you explain what it does though?

    What happens is a BIOS glitch, and Element just showed you the solution to it.
