Disable the RAM Disk?

I did disable it (RAMDISK), and I even uninstalled it (MSI COMMAND CENTER) still not showing up anywhere ( Desktop + Disk Management)

 

[ZeroHour7]

The BIOS Detected my Hard Drive. but its not showing up after getting inside Desktop..

It that a different physical hdd or just a partition on your main c disk?

If it is a different disk, check to see if it showing in the device manager

its a different disk, I am using M.2 as OS. and HDD as my storage. so even my HDD failing, it will not crush my OS. basically my HDD Failing?

its not showing anywhere inside my Windows, Device Manage, Disk Management, even on "This PC"

It might be listed in bios, but make sure it wasn't disabled in bios.
Also, did it sound like the hdd spin up?

No noise from the HDD whatsoever. And its not disable on bios. Buut its there and i cant list it to the boot queue.. My boot queue for HDD is changed by itself into Usb Key boot.. And i try to change it back to Boot my HDD buut the boot queue dont show up. But my HDD lists only show up on HARDWARE list only. And not at the boot queue

try turning the pc off, unplug the psu power
unplug the hdd sata cable.
plug the power(only the power)
restart pc. let it boot up, then shut down pc off.

unplug psu power
plug the hdd sata cable back
replug the power
back to bios to see if it see it.

i change the boot BBS priorities to my "Broken HDD" and it shows up on boot queue and i believe i will have a windows crash cause i only install my windows into my M.2. but it didn't crashed after i boot it up, instead its still boot up my M.2. I think its failing already..

if it see it, it fine, it boot up your m.2 drive because you don't have an os on HDD.
It still doesn't show up in device manager? disk management?

 

[ZeroHour7]

still not showing up.. it only shows on BIOS and Intel Rapid storage technology.. on intel rapid storage technology it says Incompatible with an exclamation Mark. but the details contain with information of my HDD.. i dont know what's happening. is this some kind of HDD software failure..

 

[ZeroHour7]

it only shows my SSD (as System)

Can you change the view in device manager to show hidden device?
Also look thru all of them to see it might be under something else

Check your services to see if anything MSI/Ram drive is still active/running.
Download and run ccleaner registry check to see if there is something running from the msi center.
