Hi. I have an Acer E17 laptop and I swapped out the dvd drive for a 500 gb disk . The operating system is on a internal ssd. The problem is the hdd does not appear in the bios. How can I get the 2nd disk to appear on the bios? It is shown in disk management. Any assistance will be appreciate. sister5091

Your optical bay uses the onboard SATA port, which is running in IDE mode and has been designed just for an optical drive (DVD ROM). Optical drives neither need nor like the AHCI mode.
