    Drive keeps disappearing from device manager in Windows 10


    Hello,

    I have Windows installed on an SSD drive and have 4x3TB HDDs in a RAID10 volume. Every time I restart/shutdown/log off the RAID array disappears from the system ie does not appear in explorer and applications complain during startup that they cannot find the files. If I go into device manager, it is missing from there as well but re-appears after I click "scan for hardware changes". The drive then appears in explorer and can be used as normal until I restart or log off again. During this time AMD RAIDXpert2 shows the disks and arrays as being healthy/online/normal.

    This is a fresh windows install on a new system and chipsetX570/RAID drivers were downloaded directly from the AMD website so they are up-to-date. I have run SFC and DISM to check for corruption but not made a difference.

    Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong here?

    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Windows 7 Professional keeps dropping the DVD/CD drive

    Working with a fresh install (2nd attempt) of Windows 7 Professional on new hardware. The motherboard is a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P. Running 4G of RAM and an Intel Q9400 Quad Core CPU. The DVD/CD optical drive is a Pioneer DVR-218L.

    Here's the problem - after two fresh installs, Windows 7 drops the DVD/CD drive and I get the following error in Device Manager (The device cannot start {code 10}). After the install, the drive works for a period of time, then stops working and I get the error code.

    The driver appears to be a standard Windows driver (CD-ROM driver).

    I've tried uninstalling the drive and re-installing it in Device Manager but it does not work - I continue to get the device error.

    I've also swapped out the DVD/CD drive to insure it's not a bad unit. Same problem with both drives.

    What do you suggest for next steps?? Could it be an issue with the motherboard?? A driver problem?

    I visited the Pioneer web site - could not find any help or additional Windows 7 drivers.

    What now??
