Invisible drive device?

mitchpman13 · December 13, 2017

So I went to boot up my PC this morning and I couldn't boot up past the rog UEFI menu. I tried several times and couldn't get into even the bios. Well, I saw I was getting an A2 postcode, which is IDE Detect code. I only use 2 drives, an 850 pro and a 950 pro. Well, I saw some Asus forums saying it was a bad OC error menu. So I went in and changed some numbers on my OC and reset them, didn't save any settings, then I was able to boot into windows. So now that I'm in, I checked a few things and somehow I have an extra drive?

Here's Samsung magician showing and device manager, but nothing in windows?

Anyone got any idea what this drive is? I'm currently running a pc scan in case it's a virus.

Edit: Refreshed hardware changes and the drive went away, also still running scanner.

Do you maybe have a card reader connected?

Nope, no other device, except an optical drive.

Well checking now, my original image post, my optical drive wasn't listed, but now it is. Both the random drive and my optical drive take-up bus1, but Samsung still shows this 3rd drive being there, and it normally doesn't pick up my optical drive as an option, unless I just need to reset windows.
