[SOLVED] Internal HDD is ejectable?

[audioh]

Hello. I bought a new gaming PC with Windows 10. Along with the SSD, I got a HDD of 2TB. It keeps showing as ejectable, as if I only need to right click it and 'eject'. How to disable this option? Does it mean something is not working/reading properly?

I went to the website page of the Motherboard - https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-PRO-rev-1x/support#support-dl-driver
and I wasn't really sure which of the drivers are relevant to my issue, if at all.

Thanks!

modern systems treated Sata disks as hot swappable. take a look at this thread: https://superuser.com/questions/129...ject-sata-drives-from-the-windows-7-tray-icon

I'm not too fond of messing with the registry. Is there really no other way?

Hey, is there something to do in my case?

In your case I would back up all of my data and I would format and reinstall windows

How come? Is something corrupted?
It's interesting because I have another issue with Windows:

There’s no way for us to tell what’s going on without access to your system it could be many different things potentially

And internal drive should never be marked as an external drive so something obviously happened

Make sure you have a legitimate windows installer that comes from the Microsoft website because according to your other problem your install is messed up

My Windows is a legal purchase. What should I do in this case, Mandark?

You can use the Windows media creation tool that’s on the web from Microsoft and it will create a brand new fully updated windows 10 install her and you can save it as an iso or make a USB to install it from. I would just back up all of my data so I didn’t lose anything and install windows fresh and clean by letting it format the boot drive
