Windows 10: One drive is on external drive, always have to turn on task manager to exit one drive no...

Hello, my one drive is set up is on external drive E:\, if i disconnect it i get -

We can`t access your "OneDrive" folder, and there are two options


Try again - which of course does not help because prompt comes back again


Set up OneDrive - which automatically set ups OneDrive locally on drive C:\ and messes up the whole set up, and starts syncing one drive with drive C


This is so annoying..

Every time you got to turn on task manager and kill it..


Please, how to fix this?

Hi Richard,

There are several factors that can cause your external drive to not read DVDs even though the system is recognizing the device. This could be caused by a driver that needs to updated or corrupted files. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions
below:

• Just to confirm, the device that is not working properly is a external DVD optical drive?
• Were there any recent changes or updates installed on your computer?
• Have you tried to plug the external drive to a different port on your computer?

As a initial recommendation, we suggest that your run the built in troubleshooter in Windows 10. Kindly refer to the steps below:

• Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.
• Click on “View All” in the top left corner.

  Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

This will check for common errors that affect hardware on your computer and attempts to correct them.

External Hard Drive configuration

So method one was correct step wise (from what I can tell) But it won't let me delete a partition even though the drive is unallocated.
