Alienware 17, Can't see secondary HDD in Windows
So I've had this new Alienware 17 for about 2 weeks now. I ordered it with 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD. Everything was working great until yesterday when the secondary HDD just seemingly disappeared... It's showing in the BIOS but not in Windows. Also, it's taking a long time (5 mins+) to boot up the laptop now... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Getting same issue as above, my secondary 1TB HDD in my Alienware 15 R2 is missing most times. It appears randomly and tried many fixes myself but none helped. Please help us fix this issue.

regarding your HDD, try to use a eraser put behind your casing to secure the connection....
regarding your speaker update the firmware from dell
