Windows 10: Windows shows HDD's as Removable device

Hello,

Recently, i got a New motherboard,

Asus P6T Deluxe V2.

From that upgrade, Windows started to show one of my HDD's as Removable.

I have

WD Blue 500GB

and

WD Purple 1TB.

Via regedit command i found on Microsoft support, But that only removes one HDD from Removable device, but other one still shows as Removable.

Any solution?

:)

 

HDD in a HDD caddy is not showing up in the disk management

Hi,

To assist you better, I would like to ask some questions:

• How are you connecting the HDD Caddy?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

If you are connecting the device using USB, I suggest you to check if other USB devices are recognized as USB devices or Other device. If it is displaying as other device, then the issue might be with the USB port. So, I suggest you to update the USB drivers
by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus Controller.
• Right click on the drive, select Update Driver Software and follow the on-screen prompts.

Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

USB3.0 Issues and Internal HDD shows as removable


Update: So I went to BIOS settings and disabled all Hot Swaps.... here's what's worrying me
1. The HDD is not even listed as one of the connected devices!!
2. Other SSD's do appear.
3. The issue still persists. The internal drive shows under Portable Devices.

 

Can't remove disconnected (ghost) network device


Thanks for the suggestion, but it can't remove the NIC:




It's the only Intel I219-V that shows up in the device list of the DeviceCleaner program (it shows only non-present devices as I understand). Otherwise, the tool works - I found a ghost replica of the integrated GPU (Intel HD 530) and could remove it. Only the NIC gives this error message on removal, which is probably the reason I can't remove it the normal way through the device manager.
