Hello, I just built a computer (Asus P7H55-M Pro and Core I5 661) and I installed a WD 500GB blue HD. I installed Win7 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

It says ATA... then I think it's fine. Is it working properly ?

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 win7 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

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?

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.

Thanks again
