Booting from Second HDD in X4 Dock

#1 Post by bobin17901 » Sat Nov 14, 2009 10:20 am

Does anyone know if its possible to boot an X41t using a second hard disk drive installed in the X4 dock? If so, how can you get the second hdd to show up in the Boot Device List summoned with the F12 key on startup?

If it doesn't show up via F12, press F1 and change the boot order.

When I access Setup and go to Startup, the second drive shows up. However, even when I elevate the second HDD to second (behind the 60 gb inboard HDD), all that shows up when I hit the F12 button on startup is the primary HDD and a LAN option. I must be missing something...
