Asrock Z170 Extreme, all intel sata ports are ok. Had to use the asmedia port for internal hard drive, ran out of ports. Drive shows up as removable. There is no option in the bios as there is for the intel ports to tell windows that it is not removable. Searched the web found a kluge that works, registry hack, but is not persistent on reboot. Yeah I can write a script to launch on boot but, I'm looking for a "real" fix. Any ideas? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, having said that I feel this is bios oversight/problem...
