Hello everyone,

 

I have my windows installed on a Samsung 840 Series SSD 120GB and a WD 320GB HDD as secondary drive in a caddy in the dvd drive space. Both were functioning fine.

 

I had 301 mb of unallocated space in the HDD and the rest as one partition.  I used MiniTool Partition Wizard 9 to extend that one partition with all the unallocated space. After the changes took affect it showed the hdd as one 'bad drive'. I thought i should restart windows to fix this. After restarting the laptop gets stuck on the start screen on  which one accesses BIOS, the light of the caps lock blinks 5 times repeatedly and then stops. The hdd sounds like it is on and I cannot access BIOS.

When i remove the hdd windows boots up just fine.
