Internal drive showing up as external

[sid411]

Hi,

This is my first attempt at a hackintosh. I successfully installed ML on Gigabyte Z77X-D3H, i5 3570k.

After the install, I took out my 2TB HDD out of the external drive enclosure and installed it using the SATA III cable in the case. I still see the drive as external in finder (with the eject icon). Is there a way to make it an internal drive?

Thanks
Sid

I fixed this by installing 3rd party SATA in multibeast.

Thanks Theroamer. Worked for me as well.

How can I check if the drive is connected as Sata3.0 or Sata6.0?

There's a multibeast option under Kexts & Enablers: Disk: IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector which is expressly for this. Check that box and your SATA drives show up as internals. Was bugging me too...

So I figured out a way to fix this. Just open your bios settings and turn off 'hot plugging' in SATA configuration. That's it.
