Hello,
I have a new Toshiba P50-A-127, but there's one problem. I want to dual boot between osx and windows, so I replaced the ODD with an HDD Caddy. Now, the bios is still programmed that the SATA port is an ODD. In OS X, I can access the drive fine, but I'm unable to boot the HDD, because the bios requires it to be an ODD. Windows refuses to install, because the controller might be disabled. If I swap the HDD with an already installed version of Windows, it will boot on the hard drive SATA, but it won't in the caddy.
Also see the pics of the bios screens:

Note that the SSD is recognized perfectly, but the HDD in the caddy is still recognized as ODD.
I already have tried AMI BCP, but I only see the first tab instead of this:

I extracted the bios using Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0.

I would be very thankful for unlocking the SATA options / being able to boot the HDD Caddy. I will buy you a beer or coffee if you succeed.
