1) For startup and recovery system failure:
a) uncheck automatically restart
b) reboot
With automatic restart checked it is easy to miss BSOD.
The default windows setting is automatically restart checked.
With automatic restart unchecked you should see a BSOD windows with bugcheck and : (
At times you may see a misbehaving driver in the form *.sys
At the very beginning of a bsod crash you may see a % counter.
If you see the % counter allow it to rise to 100% before rebooting so that there is sufficient time to create the dump file.
2) For Minitool partition wizard the information for disk 3 appears to be cut off.
If possible please repost the above image.
3) For the drive testing (HD Tune and chkdsk) these can be done via the HD enclosure.
When running the chkdsk command use the syntax: chkdsk /x /r /v C: or chkdsk /x /r /v D: changing the drive letter to the applicable drive.
4) When possible please post the results of the administrative command prompt commands for disk 1 and disk 2
There was a typo in the diskpark commands.
Please copy and paste and rerun these commands with corrected typo:

Diskpart displayed many partitions as RAW.
When available please repost Minitool displaying partitions on disk 3 with the other disks.
hi, i enter this thread without opening another one ... i have a very similar boot problem with my hdd caddy...
i installed the original lenovo hdd in the hdd caddy dvd slot, and i installed a new sdd in the internal main SATA slot.
if I start windows these things often happen a bit random:
the screen with the lenovo logo freeze
black screen freeze
windows boot error screen
windows boot repair
sometimes windows starts normally but does not appear the hdd caddy,
if I turn the pc off and on again, windows starts up and I also see the hdd caddy and everything works very fine! (dvd sata port is slower then main internal sata port :-(
but next day next same random problems...
all this happens randomly to which I don't know how to explain the variety of random anomalies.
sometimes to boot windows+hddcaddy correctly i need to power off and power on pc several times...
I tried to start windows with the caddy inserted but no hdd inside and windows always starts perfectly and fast.
so the problem is the hdd not the caddy?!

Windows Is installed on SSD in the main internal sata slot, the other hdd caddy Is wiped, rebuilt mbr, clean.
I have tried to install another different hdd in the caddy and it works without ant random problems!! So the problem Is the hdd used before in the caddy, that Is this in the picture. I can't understand what's wrong with this hdd, what cause these problems!
Thanks all for any suggestion
