NUC5PGYH - Where'd my eMMC go?

jasonNUC May 19, 2016 5:51 PM

I recently migrated Windows off of my eMMC and the SSD is working nicely. However, now the eMMC doesn't show up in Windows. I'd assumed that by switching the boot order the eMMC would show up as another drive in Windows, but it's not there. I've verified it's enabled in the BIOS, and it's listed as one of the available boot drives. But when I get into Windows it's nowhere to be found. If I go back into the BIOS and change the boot order back to having the eMMC first, the system boots to the eMMC and the SSD is listed as a second drive. But when I switch back to the SSD, the eMMC is gone again.

Is this by design, or am I missing something obvious?

Hi jasonNUC,

This is a very good question, have you tried bootable partition software to see if you can format it, maybe it is a partition that Windows is not able to see.

Regards,

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

I'm not sure what happened, but after a couple of reboots, it now shows up in Windows. It shows the drive as offline, but it's there.

Weird.

I'll call this one answered.

Thanks!

Thanks as always Ivan. I tried to remember what it was I did between the eMMC not being there and it showing up. The only thing I can think of is that I booted it into Linux from a USB. Not sure why that would matter. I was able to set the eMMC online and it seems fully functional as a second drive now.

I'm considering wiping it and using it to boot Openelec.
