I have used a few of brink's tutorials to tidy up my navigation pane as best I can. Thanks for the pointer.

Mine was probably one of the last Gigabyte motherboards produced without the new fangled UEFI. Unfortunately, there is no way to set drives to non hot plug state, other than by switching to IDE mode....

Hi snoopy51. I'll reply to your post, but it's also relevant to the last post from topgundcp, as it refers to the BIOS.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H67MA-D2H-B3. The processor is an Intel Core...

AndreTen - thanks for the link. I hadn't seen this, despite numerous searches - wood and trees come to mind :chuckle:. I'm sure that and other articles will hold something of benefit.

Thanks for your reply, Edwin. Unless terminology has changed whilst I was asleep, I would class my 3 HDDs as fixed disks (non removable). They are inside the chassis of my PC. However, they appear on...

Thanks for the input davidhk. I'll have a quiet word with MS :chuckle:.

OK, I blitzed everything, reallocated the drives in the proper sequence and clean installed Win 10 Pro 64 using a USB stick with the downloaded ISO created by Rufus. As I previously mentioned in an...

Thanks for your reply hTconeM9user. That's a bit of bad news :(. The same thing happens to all my dBpoweramp shortcuts as well. 'dBpoweramp Batch Converter' is listed under 'B', 'dBpoweramp CD...

Appreciate the links, topgundcp. Will now enter déjà vu mode. I'll update this post later on the outcome :).

Thanks swarfega. I'll go off down this path (again) with your suggestion and that of topgundcp. Will post back in a month or two :party: !

Thanks for your input topgundcp. I don't have any installation media as such, as my upgrade was the freebie (from Win7 Ultimate).

As a thought though, if the C was sited on Disk 0 instead of Disk...

I'll have my lunch first, then make an executive decision as to whether to bite the proverbial bullet. Thanks for your suggestion.

It's not too much hassle. I've already clean installed 3 times in about 8 days. Just means I can't get on with anything else whilst I'm doing so. I was quite happy until MS pushed out a couple of...

AndreTen, I don't normally use Quick Access. In fact I will probably remove the entry when I have my system fully up and running. However, this doesn't explain why the E drive doesn't show along with...

Thanks for your quick reply swarfega. They are all internal HDDs and were connected when I did a clean install the other day. I'm still loading programs, which is why the drives are not far from...

I have an issue relating to File Explorer. I have 3 internal HDDs, namely C, D and E drives. They all appear correctly under 'ThisPC', however the E drive doesn't show outside of this, as the C and D...

Greetings all. I have a couple of persistent irritations with my Win10 Pro setup that I can find no remedy for. Posting on various MS forums in the past for other issues has generally only elicited a...

Hi Feolkieer,

I too had this problem and it took a while to find the cause (in my case anyway). Go to Settings / Privacy / Calendar and ensure the 'Let apps access my calendar' switch is set to...
