old stuff:

hi all!

put ssd in macbook pro (late 2011, 13") , put original harddrive in caddy in dvd drive's spot.

going reboot disk utility run on scan on drive, , realized command-r (or option) on boot wouldn't see second harddrive @ all, either main partition or recovery partition. same true of recovery disk assistant. but, if diskutil list command in terminal, ssd disk0, data harddrive disk1, , recovery disk2.

so, it's there, os x isn't seeing it. can see on drive that's not main drive? there way move it? should spend time download internet recovery (will stay put once downloaded?)

thanks!

edit: clear, see main macintosh hd drive when boot holding option key. don't see recovery or main "datadrive" in list.

attached screen shot of diskutil list command in terminal. thanks!
