Primary drive and secondary drive eject-able as removable storage

Go to solution Solved by Zeke,

Turn off SATA hot-swap in the BIOS. And it's actually impossible to safely eject the system drive (I've tried :D )

Posted

My question is how can I fix this. I don't want to accidentally eject my SSD when I need to remove my USB.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

I'll try that, the thing is I have never had that enabled, nor have I even enabled it. Why would it have appeared now?

Maybe it was enabled by default? I had the same situation on my Maximus IV and disabling hot-swap on that particular SATA port helped me.

I did work, however I did notice something annoying while I was there. My fantastic motherboard has designated my SSD to be detected as an HDD. Is this something I should be worried about, how can I change it. What might happen if I did.

Dunno, that's the first time I hear something like that. I'm 99% sure it doesn't matter though.

I tried changing it just now, the computer doesn't find the boot MGR when the setting is enabled. Had to change the boot order an launch windows trough Zorin. EDIT: *correction* I meant the thing that allows me to select the OS, it wasn't actually Zorin itself.

It is almost as if Boot MGR was removed completely just by that, I guess I will have to poke around some more and see what I can do. Is there a way to restore Boot MGR somehow. (I think there is)

I love my un-explainable ability to brake stuff when I am trying to make something that is working work better. It makes me feel like a retarded child.

 

Oh well, worst comes to worst I should be able to get windows back to the same state as it is now in 6 hours or so.

 

More stuff to remember not to do again.

Yeah, I've learned this lesson a while ago (on my own mistakes):

 

Don't fix it if it's not broken.

This is what I live by.

 

EDIT: I think I can repair it with the installation disk, I'll have to see if it fixes itself first.

Yeah, that's the other way to look at things :D
