Hello again, it's been a year without problems.. until now...
I unplugged my external SSD, pulled out the usb cable (not eject method). SHut down computer. Now when i restarted my computer, without the drive being connected physically, the drive is still there in File Explorer and I can access all the files!!! when i try to eject i get this message but i don't know what it means because i am not running anything since I just restarted the computer? Current Configuration: windows 10 X99M killer BIOS 3.0 i7 6800K Plextor M8Pe 512 GB M.2 PCIe 3 X4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz CL14 Quad-Channel DIMMs - Black (CMK32GX4M4A2400C14) EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Black Edition 1594/1784 8GB GDDR5 08G-P4-5173-KR Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB external ![]() WTF ?? ![]() Edited by Aristoc - 25 Feb 2018 at 7:23am |

WTF is right. What enticed you to not choose to properly eject it? Device Manager > View Hidden Devices > Uninstall the external drive and reboot afterwards. |
