Make Removable HDD/SSD Fixed:

https://www.partitionwizard.com/news/internal-hard-drive-ssd-shows-as-removable.html
Sometimes in Windows disks installed inside PC case may be seen as removable despite they are connected to the SATA or PCIe and fixed by the screw.
In my PC it happened because of the SATA controller: it has a hot swap drive function. I need that function because my PC case has an option to add/remove SATA HDD/SSD from the front panel very quickly and easy without unscrewing the case and shutting down the OS.
Add selected disks in the list of fixed drives:
In Device Manager look at which bus number seats the disk(s) you want to add to the fixed drives list.
Add the TreatAsInternalPort key:
reg add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\Parameters\Device” /f /v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d X
Than add the disks you need to be fixed to the list inside TreatAsInternalPort key. Each bus number should be placed in its own line.
If you need to add drive on the bus 0 together with the drives on the other buses, use this: reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\Parameters\Device" /f /v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "0\01\02\03"
