Laptop Hard Drive

Is not detected when I plug it into my desktop. When I get to the bios stage, the system freezes on me and will not detect the laptop hard drive. It detects my intel SSD (both of them) and my Samsung F3 just fine, just not the laptop hard drive.

I am trying to clone an IBM Thinkpad x220 hard drive on to an Intel 320 SSD. Since the x220 only has one SATA port, I figured I'd pop it out, throw both into my desktop, clone away, and then return the Intel SSD into the x220. I'm running an i5-750 on a Gigabyte motherboard. Any theories? Do HDD's have any "preference" when it comes down to UEFI vs BIOS?
 
What are you plugging the laptop HD into (which SATA port) if your plugging it into a SATA 3 port it may not like to play that way...? Think that laptop only supported the Intel 310 drives...?

I did basicly the same thing I had an older Samsung 128gig SSD (1st generation) come along and it tested good so cloned my Win 7 prem 64bit on it (Dell install) and man talk about a difference... 🙂
