probably from your old windows installation?

when you erased the drive in diskutility, did you choose from the drop down option to show all devices and then erased the actual drive itself?

Finder Preferences General untick Hard disks

I know this. But i want to see the other active hard disks.
Ok as I understand this is hard to do action and i will live with them or undisplay all HDs in preferences.

you can still see your hard drives in a window side bar as long as F/P/Sidebar Hard disks is fully ticked

I wrote a script to unmount unwanted disks and placed in startup. It is working as I want now
