Disconnect drive's data cable, enable hot plug for the port in system BIOS, boot system to OS, then plug in the drive. May have to scan for new storage.
And order a replacement. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2017 4:16 PM To: hardware <hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com> Subject: Re: [H] Can't boot with bad SMART data on non-OS drive Of course, and the system boots right up. I can also pop the drive in an extended enclosure and it sounds up and is recognized. But I can't boot with the drive attached, which means I can't run any tools on it to try and see if I can fix it. It just seems weird that it won't boot with a bad non-OS drive. On Feb 26, 2017 17:06, "Thane K.
