Pretty much in the title. I upgraded from Win7 to Win10 and this is the only problem I still have. I have managed to solve the AMDaway unknown hardware issue and installed win10 drivers for the chipset. I have tried the registry fix but to no avail. I have found Asmedia 106 drivers too. I cannot find a hotswap policy in either the BIOS or the Asmedia driver. I know the motherboard is very old but surely there is a way to properly solve this? |

| I would like to note that I have dug into the BIOS and found hotswap to be set to DISABLED for both SATA drives. And I just updated the BIOS. |

is this a 'clean' install of Windows 10 or an actual upgrade from 7? from this site: https://superuser.com/questions/1010792/internal-hard-drives-showing-as-removable-in-windows-10#:~:text=Check%20Control%20Panel%20%2D%2D%3E%20Device,not%20a%20drive%20being%20removable.

Check Control Panel --> Device Manager --> Disks --> double click on the disk drives and make sure that under Policies tab drive 'write cache' is enabled and there is no 'optimize for quick removal' enabled. This is directly related with how windows considered or not a drive being removable.Posted By: Zixinus

This is a new, "clean" install. And yes, I've already checked, Write Cache is set to "on" and also have "better performance" selected for removal policy. There is no "optimize for quick removal" tab. |

I think I managed to fix it through the regedit fix. The problem was that I just added the values like this: 0 1 Rather than like this: 0, 1, So that was the issue. Oh well, I upgraded my BIOS in the process. |
