Disappearing Drive
The major upgrade installed last week. Since then, one of my internal
drives (F keeps disappearing. I thought maybe it was a power setting so I restored the defaults but nothing changed. The drive is there when I reboot but will go away again after some time. I have no idea what is causing this but have made a backup just in case. Any suggestions? |

Power Options has a setting that turn off a hard disk after being idle for 20 minutes, by default. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

You may have to go to "Disk Management" and re scan. |

I've done everything I can think of, including disk management. I tried using a different SATA port and the computer would not boot. The problem drive works fine as an external USB3 drive. I now believe there is a problem with the motherboard and I plan to update the computer next week. It's time to do that anyway as it has some age on it. |
