I cant remember when it started but recently, my usb drives would show up as "removable disk ( Drive Letter )" I can still use the drive as normal, this happens to all of my usb drives and it doesn't seem to be a problem with the drive itself as it works fine when i plug it into another computer.

 

here's a screenshot:

Thanks in advanced

 

Ps: and yes before you ask, I'm using an ancient 5:4 monitor, good monitors are hard to find and expensive here :P

Its normal, USB drives turn up as removable drives

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

It is not anything special but it is annoying as hell, I use many usb drives at a time so it can get really confusing, I would really prefer if there was a fix for it

You can right click the drives and change the name of the drives

I'm not trying to be rude but would I really make a post on here if renaming the drive worked? I might have made it confusing in the original post so I'll try explaining it again:

 

The drives still have names but they only show up if I plug them into a different computer, anything that I plug into this computer just shows up as removable drive.

 

I hope that made more sense
