Hello, I'm facing an issue where my hard drive appears as external in various systems. In the task manager and disk manager it shows as a normal external drive, but in the device manager it looks like a removable USB stick. It also appears at the bottom of the menu, making removal difficult. Despite formatting and changing the drive letter, the problem persists. I'm concerned about potential data issues if this isn't resolved. If you need more details or have any questions, feel free to share. Also, please let me know if you'd like screenshots of these states.

Check your BIOS settings to see if SATA hot-swap is activated.
