Thanks, really appreciated!
P.S. In my case, letters were assigned after disk cloning from SATA to NVME SSD was done via MiniTool Partition Wizard
Glad it helped!
Same here, I though I was the only one
Went through the same exact procedure.. quick question: after cloning c-drive onto the new drive and changing reboot priorities and options to the new drive, is it safe to format the old drive that has the previous OS files on there..? since all those files are cloned onto the new drive..
I like that shortcut for RUN.
it worked, but every time i restart my PC it shows up again. how do i permanently get rid of it?
It is worth adding to this, that this worked but the drive letter returned after a re-boot. To get rid of it permanently required these instructions+editing a key in the system registry. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices (Delete the value for Dos device with the drive letter in it.) Backing up the registry first is a good idea!
That helped. thank you very much.
I didn't do a backup, and so far it's been safe. thank you.. 👍👍
Thank you bro, was searching for this for so long and finally found something useful.
Glad I could help
I delete this letter, but it keeps coming back
Thanks. This worked and your instructions and explanation were really good.
I have nothing against the letter "Z" it just wasn't invited to the party and was cluttering things up.
thank you very much .very useful . first I thought its a virus or malware ... . you saved my nerves . thanks🙏🙏🙏
Happy to help

"Virtual Disk Service error:
Assigning or removing drive letters on the current boot or pagefile

Thank you so much it really helped me to remove annoying efi system partition
Happy to help!
even after i go into diskpart and hide local disk it comes right back
For me after restarting the PC, the drive again shows in MyComputer
Thank you. I was finally about to hide my system z drive that appeared after a system clone.
so if i "hide" my "E" drive, I can reset my PC and reinstall windows without my hidden "E" drive data being lost?
If we're talking about E disk as a system partition that should normally be hidden but it's not and you put your own files into that disk then whether you hide it or not Windows will restore that disk you may loose all your data. If we're talking about E disk as a separate partition or another drive then your data will be fine in any case.
Thank you!! was able to hide it using diskpart.
Happy to help!
Thanks alot, it really helped me!🙏

it works but every time when I restart my pc the drive shows again. Any solution?
Happens to me too :( nothing has worked
Exactly my problem and it does not seem to be addressed here or anywhere
Bit late to help you but may help others with the same problem. After following the instructions in this video. You then need to
Open regedit:
Start→Type regedit
Find the right key/folder:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices
If the EFI partitions drive letter is still in the registry, delete the value:
e.g. \DosDevices\X:
Close RegEdit and reboot. ( from superuser.com) This worked for me.

Nice video. Thanks it helped me!😀
Glad it helped!
you just saved me man,, thanks alot ♥
Glad I could help
This is not "hiding a drive" what you are doing is removing the drive letter and that means most of windows and other programs can not use that drive anymore, unless you mount it to a folder.
That's right! System partitions don't have assigned letters and sometimes after conning drives those partitions get letters and my video shows how to fix it.
Thank you. Wish you all the best.
Same to you
Great video thanks.
Thank you for the comment.
finally, thank you sir!

Welcome
Hi, I have 2 additional drives E and F (not partition but actual internal drives).
Can you tell me why for no reason it starts to spin and run continuously for 20-30 minutes each day?
I don't have daily scheduled tasks or virus scan. I had also disabled disk indexing. I had scanned for trojan and virus but didn't find any.
Any recommendations on how to find the cause of this problem beside disconnecting the actual E and F drive?
Could this be a polling session from operating system on a daily basis? If so, how come its not showing in task manager or process server during the incident?
I'm hoping its not a virus sending out data from my E and F. Please advise, and thank you in advance..
try to go to start and type: Indexing Options and press the enter key. In appeared windows you'll see the list of apps that use indexing. Select one and click modify and see if that app uses that drive then simply uncheck it. And repeat the process for the whole list. Also go to your computer right click the drive you want to stay off and uncheck: "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties".
Also make sure that you don't run any diagnostic software that checks SMART, or even HDD temperature and other specs. Also make sure that the paging operation does not interfere with that drive. Even windows update can wake up that drive because it collects data about your hardware and checks for drivers updates.
I'd disabled paging and did all of your recommendations. Will windows update still have access to those drives to scan hardware/collect data? I might have to disable windows update too.
Thanks again for the reply, it was super helpful.
Thx man
Happy to help
