So I tried to boot up with my 840 evo 250gb ssd and 500gb laptop hdd, get past bios then I get to a black screen with pixely colors at the top.

Do I have to delete everything on the laptop hdd? I have important stuff on there.

Laptop is not in use atm as keyboard is not working so I'm going to use it as additional space.

Both plugged into sata express.

Both work as single hard drive loading just not together.
