HP Probook 470G5 2nd hdd

Hi all,

I decided to upgrade my old laptpop disks. The 128GB M.2 disk for windows replaced with 512GB disk works just fine. BUt when I ttryed replace the secondary rotary disk with ssd disk, it worked OK at first glance, but couple minutes later the disk was gone, not seen by the windows, not even seen by the bios. It was WD blue 1TB. This disk worked fine on couple others laptops, except this one. Gisk was activated ok, formatted and with gpt. Bios updated to the latest version for this laptop.

The old seagate hdd works ok, when I put it back. Is there any solution for this, so the ssd will be seen in bios na din windows too ?

THANK YOU in advance

So you want to be a Windows Power  User. Excellent!

I use Windows DiskPart utility at the command line when I run into that issue.

Be aware that DiskPart is a powerful utility. Using it is at your own risk.

Make sure that the disk you want to make changes to is the currently selected disk.

Assign a disk letter and it should be seen by the OS.

Hello,

sorry for the delay and thank yoou for your kind information. in the mean time i´ve searched little further and tryed the recomended Kingston ssd, which worked pretty well. The previous WD blue ssd kept going off on this machine, so I put him in some other machine, where he work just fine.

Thank you very much.
