Boot Drive Not Found in Device Manager

[Guest]

Hello,
I have the same problem as golorsky1 06-21-2010
I have 2 Hard drives.
Disk0 is 500Gb and partitioned into c:\, d:\ ,e:\ and f:\
Disk1 is 1Tb in one partition.
My Disk 0 (boot drive) doesn't show in device manager or disk management but shows in windows explorer,disk deframenter and Easeus Partition Master.
No malware shows on scans although a clunk sounds on bootup like something isn't being found.
Oh yeah, and it hangs when trying to start in safe mode.
I have no more ideas.

Is the drive displayed in Device Manager under "Removable Media?"

It may think it's a "Hot-swap" drive. I read something about that last week. Let me look for it.

In this thread, read what sminlal says:

It's there because SATA by default allows "hot swapping" of drives. This paper from Microsoft describes how to edit the Registry to tell Windows that the drive should be treated as a non-removable device.

The thread doesn't exactly pertain to you, but the reply is about the "hot-swapping" feature.

Hope this helps.
