2nd HD seen as removeable after Sleep - Vista Ult x64

Postby Graphite » Sun Jan 11, 2009 8:20 pm

Not a major hassle but it would be nice to know why... :D

If I put my PC to 'sleep' for a quick restart I find that my D: drive is then seen as removeable and Windows (Vista Ultimate x64) asks me what I want to do with the drive. I am now using the beta SP3 that Mr Chris gave links to and it is the same - I thought there might be something in there to cure it :mrgreen:

If I do a full reboot all is normal again.

Main drive is WD SATA and 2nd drive is Maxtor IDE

Any ideas?

Thanks :lol:

Sounds like a Controller driver, Power function, or a WD issues.

Start by turning off the feature that would allow it to put the HD to sleep. See if that changes it.




BTW, SP3? In Vista? What happened to SP2?
