[German<\/a>]Today a short information about a bug in Windows 10 V1803, preventing disk management to recognize internal SATA drives in a proper way. The interna SATA drives are detected in disk management as removal drives. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

German blog reader Michael T. already contacted me via e-mail a couple of weeks ago (thanks for that), and pointed to a bug, that became known in 2015, and is also present Windows 10 version 1803. He writes:<\/p>\n

\n

By chance I noticed an older bug from the year 2015 in the new version 1803.  <\/p>\n

It is about the following: a new 3.5\" HDD from WD was bought and installed. <\/p>\n

Windows recognized the hard disk, but could not do anything with it. The volume management from disk management showed it as marked, as online but I could not format that media.  <\/p>\n

It allegedly had a 2 TB GPT partition and just under 1.9 TB of unused storage. Deleting the GPT or creating a new volume was not possible. <\/p>\n

Via disk part I could see that the disk had no partition occupied and was completely empty. So I created and formatted a new primary partition. Then the HDD was ready and usable!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The screenshot above shows the partitioning of the disk in Disk Management. With diskpart you can get at a hard disk to work in cases the disk management fails. Then Michael writes the following about the actual bug: <\/p>\n

\n

Now let's come to the bug: [the internal SATA hard disk] is recognized as an ejectable, external HDD!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Eject <\/p>\n

Michael mentioned the Microsoft kb article Internal SATA Drives show up as removeable media<\/a> from September 2015, that addresses this issue. Microsoft provides a workaround, adding a parameter to the registry key: <\/p>\n

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\
storahci\\Parameters\\Device<\/em><\/p>\n

The Reg_SZ value TreatAsInternalPort<\/em> has to be set to the drives bus numer. Details may be read at Microsoft's kb article KB3083627<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
