False Boot Drive?
I have two disks listed as boot devices when my computer boots up, however I want to skip selecting the disk and boot directly to my SSD (Disk 1) instead. The other drive listed(Disk 3) just goes to a blank screen when selected.
In This PC the icon for Disk 3 is faded. There is no blue bar indicating drive space. It is listed as USB Drive (G:)
In Disk Management, Disk 3 is listed as Removable with No media. There is no space available on the disk either.
From"CMD -> diskpart -> list disk" I get:
Disk 0 Online 298GB
Disk 1 Online 223GB
Disk 2 Online 465GB
Disk 3 No Media 0B
When disk 3 is selected and issued the command "Clean" I get the error "There is no media on the device"
What can I do to remove this false disk? There is nothing plugged into any USB ports that could be the problem. The problem has also persisted after multiple boots. It appears Windows is seeing a bootable flash drive that isn't real.
