Internal Laptop SSD Drive Keeps Disappearing
My HP laptop has a second internal SATA SSD drive which I normally assign to drive Z: for backups. It has worked fine to date but sometimes when I start the PC it is not found in Explorer - see below. I can easily assign the disk letter Z: in Disk Management which works for a while but the drive still disappears after a while. I've enabled Automount in DISKPART. When I assign Z: I get a notification about what to do with removeable drives yet the SSD is not removeable. Perhaps Windows incorrectly thinks the drive is removeable?
What is going on here?
