Mountain Lion Reports Internal Disks as External

[fenix1993]

Hey guys, so, I installed Mountain Lion on my PC recently. My specs are:


Intel BOXDH67BLB3 H67 Motherboard
Intel Core i5 3450
16GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM
1TB Seagate Windows drive, formatted NTFS
500GB WD drive, formatted HFS+
Nvidia GeForce 570, EVGA built.

Everything works great, except that both of my drives are reported as external drives. They're certainly not external.. and it's done this since I installed it. What could cause this?

Try installing the "3rd party SATA" kext in MultiBeast. I assume it's still there, but I haven't checked in a while.

Turn off the "hot plug" in SATA configuration of the BIOS. If they are not "hot pluggable", then they are considered internal.

It worked perfectly. Thank you. :3
