Hi Guys,
I have 3 hdd, two in my computer and 1 as mobile mainly used to copy stuff from my friends computer. Anyway this is the problem, i took out 1 of the hdd from my computer and plugged this mobile one in. But when i went to switch them back over, the computer cant detect the hard drive???
When i go into bios all it says is unknown device even thou my hdd is plugged in. What is the bloody problem with this comp ????

its not possible to plug them in the wrong way as there is a little catch that disables me from putting them in the wrong way
