Title: Help with SATA HDD not opening...
Post by: ImPaKt on December 12, 2007, 09:19:23 AM
Ok i goofed somewhere, my PC treats any S-ATA device like its Plug-and-Play so even my System Hard Drive appears in the 'safely remove hardware' window.

Thing is, my PC auto sets a default action for every PnP device, and i cant change what it set for my HDDs, so when i go to My Computer and double click my C or F drives, they dont Open, i have to Right-Click and select 'Open' or 'Explore'

How can i restore double-click? Its really annoying me now.

Yeah but mine set them as 'Autoplay - Take No Action' so when i click them, nothing happens

And i know where to change it, but whatever i set it as, it doesnt do anything.

You could try and install a driver for the HDD i had this with a IDE before, found a driver on the WD website installed it and everything went back to normal

Maybe the "goof" is in the BIOS somewhere? If not maybe in the registry?

I tried the BIOS with no luck, but at least i OCd while i was in there

I'll try registry, or googling 'autoplay hard drive remove'

Reinstall Linux...

Did you try to kick it out of the device manager and let it reinstall? Keep a bootcd ready by the way - you never know

Sorted it with TweakUI

Had to remove all traces of autorun.inf and linked files to it
