2nd HDD in optical bay issue
Hey,
I have this week, after a terminal drive failure, upgraded my MBP early 2011 to an SSD. I then bought an optical bay HDD caddy and removed the optical drive.
I have purchased a brand new 1TB Toshiba SATA II 5400rpm hard drive to go into the optical bay.
I cannot however get the drive to show in OSX or in the recovery parttion. This morning, I recieved a pop up message saying the disk couldnt be initialised. I clicked initialise and it opened Disk Utility and the drive displayed correctly.
I then attemtped to format the drive but got the message, unable to write to last block of the device.
Here is the log from my format attempt,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
