If you go to the TP BIOS setup (turn machine off, hold down F1, turn it on),
one of the setup options is the startup device order.  You might try putting
HDD2 (or HDD3 or HDD4) in the first slot and see if that does the trick.
I'm guessing it *has* to work with a dock because there really is no other
way to add another hard drive.
