Hard drive shows as external in disk utility, icons correct.

[Gmtech79]

I have seen a lot of comments about getting hard drives to show as internal on the desktop (the icons), usually by installing 3rdpartysata.kext in multibeast, which I have done. What about in disk utility, it still labels the drive as external. Anyway of getting this to show internal?
I know it's only cosmetic, but just trying to get my machine spit polished perfect.
Thanks!

That kext should work.

You could use something like Candybar to change the icon itself.

Hi Gmtech79,

i use IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector in MultiBeast and that shows my internal hard drives in silver on the desktop and silver inside Disk Utilities. When i connect an external hard drive then the external hard drive shows in Orange so this should work for you too.

My icons show correct. I was talking about what is shown for connection type. See screenshot(not mine, just for illustration). My connection type (highlighted red) says external.

Whoa i must have been drunk! Sorry. Mine say the same in diskutil.

I have a similar, though slightly more complicated, situation. I have 3 internal hard drives, but two are hot swappable. I would like the fixed internal disk to show up as internal and the other two to show up as external. I think I even had it going by accident earlier tonight, but I wasn't documenting how I did it, and now I'm back to square one...
