    Hi,

    ive been searching around and cant seem to find anyone with problems like mine.
    i installed the 2nd hard disk caddy into my DVDRW slot and put my DVDRW into an external case but im having problems with the caddy. every now and then the hard disk just dissapears but i can still access in from shortcuts. the icons are all missing but i can see the text. also i cannot install windows while both drives are attached. it just installs the first part then when it restarts it just goes to a black screen and the cursor just blinks.

    anyone had these problems.

    cheers
    kev

    1. Check the drive is firmly installed in caddy and can't move in it
    2. Check caddy secured properly with screw
    You might get broken caddy
