Ive noticed my event viewer throwing event 157 disk - disk X has been suprise removed this goes for disk 6-7-8-9 im not sure if i should be concerned about it or not some advice would be greatly appriciated.
I have 6 drives, but for some reason they are listing 6-7-8-9 in the event viewer, as far as i can tell they arent disconnecting at all "maybe my external does occasionaly" but i havent actually seen anything properly disconnect and stop working.how many drives do you have?
Its not ideal, I would back up anything on the drive(s) as it might just stop coming back
Its been a while since i put them in the system so im unsure what they all are. I know C drive is an NVME, i have 2 2TB SSHD's 1 500GB SSD and one 256GB SSD with an extra 1TB external.Can you right click start
choose disk management
open next window to show upper and lower sections
take screenshot and upload to imgur like above
The disk numbers in there are the same as the ones that show in list disk, which I am also thinking is where event viewer got them as well.
So working out which is sending messages that its been removed could be easier.. one step closer anyway. unless you can't work out which drive is which based on what partitions are on it, and drive size.
What makes/models drives are they?
wonders where drive 9 is... maybe its the external drive?disk 6-7-8-9
100% normal, all your getting there is a warning thats it, no harm is happening, alot of the big games in the store do this too. but in your case a little exessive, i would imagine it can be a slightly corrupted gamepass game that may not be stopping properly when you exit the game.
Ill try that and see what happens - the thing is i havent actually played any of these games in a long time, i just have them installed ready to play - they just occasionaly eject themself for some bizzare reason, im glad i know what it is now tho and that it isnt actually my hard drivesMicrosoft don't see it as a problem, all it really means is the game isn't closing properly when you shut it down. I can see other people who get same errors even when not playing games.

i just remembered, they show as virtual drives.
it could be worse, seems some people get lots of them - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-devices/ae6a44a3-cb71-46be-876d-6a1be409d15a
I don't see a way to repair the drives
running chkdsk /f in command prompt might help
