Hey MacRumors community,
it's my first post and usualy i'm just a passiv reader, but this time i can't solve my problem by just reading posts
i have an eraly 2011 Macbook Pro which already came with a 256GB SSD.
Since i need Windows for certain software in my profession and had not enough space to work with, i bought a 2nd SSD with an Caddy for my Optibay.
On my first SSD (256GB) is Mac OSX and Windows 7 Installed and both work great.
If i remove my Superdrive, OSX and Windows 7 are still fine.
But as soon as i place my 2nd SSD in my MacBook, Windows won't boot anymore and gets stuck at the black screen and a blinking curser.
If i boot OSX everything is fine. I can access the 2nd SSD and use it as planed.
When i unplug my 2nd SSD, Windows starts as it usualy would.
So why does my Windows 7 not work, when my 2nd SSD is pluged in?
Hope you guys can help me, i don't know what to do anymore.
Cheers Flo
