Hardware device issue
Hello, I just built a computer (Asus P7H55-M Pro and Core I5 661) and I installed a WD 500GB blue HD. I installed Windows 7 pro 32-bit and all seemsfine, but I found this (see pic).
It appears that the hard drive is a usb and it's not. I set the BIOS for AHCI and it is plugged into the SATA port. Not sure why this is popping up here. As you can see it is on the right hand side, top row. All my other win 7 systems does not do this for their drives.
Any one know how I can get rid of this?
Thanks | My System Specs |

Thanks for the response. Yes it is working fine. Customer picked it out and I have never seen this in Windows 7. I have 8 computers with Windows 7 on it and the hard drive never shows up in here. I wonder if it is NOT raid, it ends up here. If it is raid, it disappears, all 8 systems are in some sort of raid.
Not sure, but thanks for the quick reply | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built

I think its showing up there because windows thinks its removable. Windows thinks its eSATA for some reason? Drivers maybe? Does that motherboard have eSATA ports that that drive is plugged into by accident? | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I will beit it appears in "Safely remove hardware" and are you using the Microsoft standard AHCI drivers. If so, see here for a registry entry to turn off hot-swap for the device: My internal SATA device appears in Devices and Printers and in the Safely Remove Hardware area of the system tray? | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Okay, using your guys' answers I ended up starting at the drivers. That fixed it. Thanks again to all. Next time I send the parts to my house so I can build it up. Client had the parts and he messed with it. I was playing catch up all the time.
