<p>I shut down the machine so I could open it up and see which sata
port that drive was plugged into. I was wrong earlier when I said
it was plugged into one of the sata ports on the motherboard. It
was plugged into an addon card that's plugged into a pcie slot. I
have a trayless hot swap mobile rack I use for drives I use for
backups. I switched the two sata cables. The internal drive now
connects to the motherboard. The hot swap rack connects to the
sata addon card. I rebooted and the internal drives don't show..
Apparently anything connected to the sata ports on the motherboard
is treated as an internal drive and anything conneccted to an
addon cars is treated as an external drive whether it is or not.</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What is the "add-on" card and how is it connected to the motherboard? </div></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><font face="monospace">lspci and lsusb may give more information to help understand the anomaly.</font></div><div><font face="monospace"><br></font></div></div></blockquote><font face="arial, sans-serif">--</font><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Arun Khan</font></div></div>
