Windows 10: "Hot swap" does not work

Hello
I built a new PC with Windows 10 - 64 Bits
For the hard drives, I use "extractable racks", so I could change the data disks when needed (thats what I hoed, as it worked fine on the previous Windows 7 PC)
But, it seems this does not work
If I boot the system with some choosen disks, it works fine, but when I remove some of them and replace them with different disks, they are not recognized

In order to get access to the "new" disks, i have to close the system, change the disks and reboot

Is that normal ? Did I forget to tweak some parameters ?

Thanks for any help Have a good day

:)

 

Drive letter assignment to hot-swap drives being forgotten


I have two SATA hot-swap drives that I alternate between each day for backups. When using Windows 7 I was able to assign the disks to g: and then after the initial assignment, windows would remember this and assign it to g: on each subsequent use.

But with Windows 10 it seems to forget the assignment after a reboot, and assigns d: (the first free letter) instead. (Quite possibly this isn't actually related to a difference between Win 7 / 10 though - when using Win 7 I had a drives on d:, e:, f:, and so g: was the first available letter. On Win 10 I no longer have the d: and f: drives attached, and so d: is now the first available letter.)

To be clear:

• The hot swap disks are not permanently attached
• Only one hot swap disk is ever attached at a time
• Both hot swap disks have been assigned to g: (but this isn't sticking)

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Drive letter assignment to hot-swap drives being forgotten

You could create a batch file with diskpart that remove the drive letter and reassigns the one you want.
The drive number n should be last on list.

Initially


diskpart
list disk (to identify disk number)

Batch file e.g. letter.bat contains one line

diskpart /s letter.txt

and letter.txt contains

select disk n (n from above)
remove
assign letter= J (or whatever you want)
exit

and each time you swap drive, just run letter.bat.
