Hello everyone.
I have recently got a new ThinkPad L540. Since I need to use Windows 7 (TrueCrypted company Installation on normal SSD) and Ubuntu I bought a HDD Caddy for the UltraBay together with a 1TB HDD.
My problem is, that I can not select the second HDD (HDD1) in the BIOS to boot from. It does not show the name of the drive, just HDD1. HDD0 has a name that indicates that it is the Intel SSD. The new drive is visible and usable in Windows and when I use a USB-Drive to install Linux on that second Drive.
Furthermore I switched the SSD and the HDD and the L540 boots sraight up into Ubuntu. When I switch back its boots Windows 7 again.
During the Ubuntu installation I tried both, writing the GRUB2 bootloader to the root-partition or to the beginning of the HDD (schould be the same since the root-partition is the first on the drive). Gparted is also thelling me that the root-partition is bootable.
I hope somebody has an idea!
Thank you very much for your help in advance!!!

I also have got this Problem. The Drive is recognized in the Diagnostics Screen on startup. It is also recognized in Win 10 Setup. But if you try to install the os it says, that windows maybe cannot boot from this drive and the setup dosnt continue. BIOS is up-to-date.
Any Solutions?
