Hi,
i've installed debian on a separated HD from Windows 7. THe problem is that everything has gone fine during installation but now the system don't recognized the second HD in which i've installed debian. The strange fact is that in HWiNFO software the hard disk appear as enabled and working. So why it doesn't do the dual boot ?

Try unplugging the hdd with windows on it

does debian boot now?

if it does, plug the hdd back in and go into the BIOS/UEFI setup and look for the option to change the hdd boot priority

more like you installed the boot loader to the wrong disk but whatever fixes it
