Can't enter windows 7 after I added 2nd hard disk

Bought a Thinkpad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter (Lenovo 40Y8725) and a Hitachi 500G hard drive for my T61, the capacity now is increased to 820G. 
But the problem is I can't boot my laptop!!  Every time I restart my laptop, before I can enter the system(window 7), it shows a blue screen with an error code: "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
Several things I tried:
1, If I take off the bay adapter, everything becomes fine. And after I enter the system, insert the bay adapter, the new 500G hard disk can be recognized normally. (actually, this is what I have to do now if I want to reboot...)
2, Put the original 320G hard disk to the bay adapter and leave its original position (internal bay) empty, everything is fine
3, If now put 500G hard disk to the empty position (320G is still in bay adapter), problem again
So, it seems the adapter bay and both two hard disks should be ok by themselves, and the problem only appears when I plug them together to my laptop. My roommate also bought a bay adapter, and it works totally well on his T400 and windows 7...
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well, you should never trust a solution from someone who writes Speed Spectrum Clocking when in fact it is Spread Spectrum Clocking.  However, the only reason I mentioned it at all is that you have to choose a setting in order to save the Max Transfer Speed setting.
They're both Hitachi drives?  (It would seem so if you were able to use the tool on both drives.)
If you're not using a hard drive caddy on the drive in the Ultrabay, I would place a piece of insulation between the bare drive and the hard drive adapter.  Some people use a sheet of plastic.  I prefer a note card as it provides a cool visual indicator should the drive reach a temperature of 451 F.
I might have to retire this solution if it doesn't start to produce better results.
It the insulation suggestion doesn't help, I would post back with the product number of your T61 and any upgrades you have made.

  • How can i install windows 7 on my second hard disk while the first hard disk running with windows 8.1

    I have Toshiba laptop P-75 model :
    this model have two slots for the hard disks , on my first hard disk i am running the default windows 8.1 which came with the original condition (when i bought my laptop) , since i am a civil engineer many of my field programs  is not working on the
    windows 8.1 version and the rest programs barely works appropriate!
    I want to download windows 7 on the second hard disk, thus having dual boot in order to chose which windows i want to use.
    thanks in advance

    You need to consult with Toshiba as this is a hardware specific problem and you may not be able to install Windows 7 dues to lack of hardware drivers and/or the laptop being configure for Secure Boot which Windows 7 does not cope with either.
    It is your responsibility to do the research for this project to ensure compatibility and needed hardware drivers.

    i use windows and i got my hard disk replaced now when i try to sync wirelessly my ipod detects my computed as being a different one how can i make it forget the old one?

    You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first.

  • 2nd HARD DISK DISSAPPEARED..HELP!!!!!

    someone PLEASE help me...i have 2 years of data on this disk.
    My 2nd hard disk disappeared from my desktop and Finder. I see it in Disk Utility, nad verified it and says everything is ok. This all happenned when i creatd a user account under my admin, and i changed the "ownership nad permissions" on that 2nd user to NO ACCESS. I guess something messed up. After i selected NO ACCESS on that 2nd user, i went back to my admin account, nad i couldn't access the disk there. i tried cahnging the disk to READ WRITE in my admin, but it wouldn't change, kept being no access. 20 minutes later after messing around, the disk is GONE from desktop and Finder....HOW DO I GET IT BACK?
    thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    SO, i did this and it worked
    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter /Volumes/ as the folder's location. Next, open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder while keeping the Volumes folder open. Type the following into the window:
    chmod 755
    followed by a space. Drag the volume in question into the Terminal window and press Enter. Log out and back in, and see if the drive reappears on your desktop
    Now, my question is....how do i do what i want to do? How do i get my second user (standard) to not see or simply not be able to use the 2nd hard disk, while me, admin, of course can see the 2nd hard drive.

    If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

  • The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.

    The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.
    All was normal until the icon for the disk stopped showing up on the desktop when I would plug it in. I rebooted the computer, and the disk icon now shows up but this new look to the finder window started as a result. The hard disk does not have this problem when I use it on another Mac running Snow leopard. Also, two other external hard disks that I use on this computer running lion 7.4 still have the normal header bars with columns that can be reordered, etc.
    I have tried looking in preferences and other places but have not seen this discussed. 

    Well duh - I finally figured out that somehow in the View options for the hard drive, the "arrange by" option had been changed to "by date" from "none". Not sure how that happened, I had never used the "view options" menu tem before. Changing "arrange by" back to "none" gets the gray column headers and the collapsible folder icons back. 

  • Why I can't do a search in my external hard disk using Adobe Bridge CS6?

    When I open Adobe Bridge CS6 and try to do a search within my external hard disk, it will give results from my internal hardisk only?! this is the 1st time I encounterd such strange issue. Because of this I do my search with windows and then browse each result with Bridge! which really annoying.

    I solved the problem by going to the search field and clicking on the search icon where it will give a drop list of 3 options, then selecting Bridge Search: Current Folder and that solved my problem. thanks for everyone help

    You can do a search of an external drive if the OS permissions are OK.  Bridge will not search across different drives however.

  • 2nd hard disk to E540

    Hi,
    which hard disk adapter I need to use to put a 2nd hard disk to my new E540 (replace DVD drive)?
    I found these:
    http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:item.detai... (ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter III)
    http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:item.detai... (ThinkPad 12.7mm Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter III)
    Neither one lists compatibility with E540.
    So which hard drive adapter I need to use, and where can I get that (preferably in Finland/Europe)?
    I have the OneLink dock, so I could use external hard drives, but I need to have also the 2nd internal HD.
    -Paavo
    Solved!

    Thanks a lot of your support and attitude, ejebinger (Fanfold Paper).
    Now, can somebody else point me to Lenovo information that confirms the right hard disk adapter model for E540?
    I have searched the web and especially Lenovo pages, and tried calling local Lenovo and dealers but they cannot answer this question.
    I never thought bying accessories for Lenovo laptops could be this difficult.

    Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

    You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can. 
    You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

  • GE70 2PC - can't enter bios after EC flash

    So I've flashed my GE70 2PC with 1.506 firmware provided by MSI. Everything went smooth - it flashed without any errors and the laptop still runs.
    However, I can't enter bios anymore. When the laptop boots I'm pressing DEL and it stops on a black screen with an underscore ("_").
    I did the EC reset, I even left my laptop without any power supply (no batter and no DC) for the whole night and nothing.
    I've contacted MSI and they sent me EC flashes from 1.500 to 1.5007 (without 1.5002). I've tried them all and nothing. Still can't enter bios, however, after rest the laptop boots Win 8.1 normally.
    Any ideas/clues how to fix it?

    No, I didn't update BIOS prior to EC flash. I also don't remember BIOS version.
    However, it seems to be a common issue and MIS has a fix as I get this message from them:
