Hello gents!
I got a mid-2012 macbook pro with a data doubler. Usually I roll it with SSD on main bay and HDD on optical bay. I've ran into some issues, had to disassemble the whole thing and then I realized the HDD should be placed on the main bay, to reduce vibrations and help with the motion sensor thing.
So I switch the disks' positions and now my SSD, which has both MAC OS and WIN OS, won't boot windows 7 at all. OS X boots just fine. The weirdest thing is when I leave ONLY the SSD installed, even on the optical bay, windows boots fine too! The problem only occurs when I connect the HDD.
So recap, SSD main bay, HDD optical bay: boots fine OSX and WIN 7.
SSD solo boots both OS and WIND 7 fine no matter where.
SSD optical bay, HDD main bay: OS X boots fine, WIN 7 tells me there's no bootable drive.
Is Windows so dumb that it won't search the optical bay for OS when there are 2 disks?
Or is it because I had installed windows with the disks arranged one way and windows is also dumb that it won't allow me to change that?
How to fix this without formatting and reinstalling windows again?
