<p>HP Pavilion DV6 2164TX Laptop Windows 10 Pro 16GB DDR3 RAM Intel 1st gen i7 processor 1.6GHz. </p><p> I had a 1TB HDD & a DVD Drive in my laptop </p><p>Now I replaced the HDD with a HP SSD 480GB drive. It is detected in the HDD slot. Removed DVD drive and added the 1TB HDD (one which was in HDD slot) with a caddy. </p><p>However, the 1TB HDD is not being detected in BIOS or OS. </p><p>How can I make both of them work together? The advanced BIOS features are disabled on this HP laptop. So I cannot change BIOS settings. </p><p>Does this particular laptop support both SSD and HDD at same time? If so, he can I make both SSD & HDD to be detected and work together? </p><p>Searched all solutions using Google search but cannot make them work together. </p><p>Looking for some solution here. Thanks in advance. </p>
