hello all, i hoping someone would be able to help me out.
i got given a good few hot swapping cases a while back and i thought id start to use them as i have a few hdds laying around. i put the hdd in and got the pc to see it and access it. the problem i'm having is that i have no way to un-mount the hdd safely from the pc so i can put it out. i thought that it would act like a usb drive where you get the icon at the bottom right to safely remove it but that doesn't show the hdd.
i did a little research and haven't found much about it, i read that you have to change the policies on the drive for quick safe removal but i don't have that option to me, the only option under the device manager policies tab is write-catching policy witch doesn't help so i'm at a loss. the hdd is usable and i can copy and delete stuff from it but it seems like i can only change the hdd when the pc it is off.
i have gone through the bios to make sure the controller was set to AHCI witch it was by default, all my drivers for my pc are up to date.
that's about it, i think. if you need more info on anything please let me know. all my system details are on my profile and are up to date.
thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide and sorry if i have start a post in the wrong place.
