    Hard Drive in Optical Disk bay makes click sound when restarting


    So i bought a HDD caddy for my ODD and a HGST Travelstar 7K1000 and whenever i restart, it does this clicking sound Dropbox - HDD Click.mp3
    The other hard drive in bay 2 never made this sound in the 9 months I had it and it's the same manufacturer and model. Again, it makes this sound ONLY when restarting, otherwise it is pretty silent.

    My setup: Windows 10 Pro
    ASUS G751JT-CH71
    Bay1: Adata SX900 SSD 128GB
    Bay2: HGST Travelstar 7K1000
    ODD: HGST Travelstar 7K1000

    :)

    windows 10 professional not finding one of two internal hard drives

    The hard drives drivers are not the same as the disk/storage controllers listed separately IDE SATA/ATAPI controllers. What are listed under those?

    Is this a laptop where you are using the Optical Drive bay as a secondary hard drive bay? Please explain the secondary bay you describe using for the problem disk. How is it connected exactly to the motherboard?

    Try disabling the Toshiba Optical Disk Drive Service and then remove and reinstall the optical drive.

    Windows Key + R > type services.msc in the "Open" box > OK

    In the right window scroll down to the "TOSHIBA Optical Disk Drive Service" and double-click the "TOSHIBA Optical Disk Drive Service" and then set the "Startup type" to "Disabled" > OK

    Restart the computer.

    Then open the Device Manager and right-click the DVD drive > Uninstall device and then uninstall the device.

    Restart the computer and let Windows re-detect and reinstall the drive.
