    I'm about to make a system image however I don't jave enough storage on my external hdd for a system umage unless I remove the games dusc but I was wondering if it would have any effects if I remove the disc and plug it back in after the image has been made or that I plug it back in after I restored W10 using the image.

    Can't safely remove external disk

    In reference to the steps of your suggestions:

    • The issue is specific to the particular disk and it started after I've used the disk to save the System image backup (created with the Control Panel > File History tool).
    • I didn't disable any windows Service. I'm just wondering if there is any to disable.
    • Safe boot with networking, or clean boot doesn't resolve the issue.

    Thank you.

    Remove Internal Hard Drive From Safely Remove Hardware And Eject Media

    I have an older computer, and have had trouble getting working SATA controller drivers for it, so I have had to revert the Marvell SATA/RAID driver back to Standard SATA AHCI Controller driver. Doing this has fixed my problems mostly, but now my internal hard drives show up in the Safely Remove Hardware And Eject Media list.

    Apart from reverting back to troublesome Marvell drivers, what is the best way to to hide these internal drives from showing up in the Safely Remove Hardware And Eject Media list?

    Don't have any function for backup

    Hi Iris,

    Let's work together on this. We suggest that you follow the following steps to apply the backup to your Windows Phone:

    • Sign into the same Microsoft Account used for the backup creation.
    • When prompted to use a backup to restore the handset, select the desired backup and hit ‘next’ to continue with the process.
    • The backup will then download (duration will vary depending on speed of connection and size of backup), you can then enter passwords for restored accounts there and then or configure restored email and social accounts later.

    Let us know the results.

    Regards.
