This happens every time I reboot. Windows Firewall asks me for letting an app through. I have granted the access before, but WF doesn't seem to remember. Also, the path is very strange:



What may be happening? Thanks!

I figured it out. The HDD i was ussing for B drive was on SATA 0, so it was disk 0 on Windows, and C drive was disk 4 (yes, I have several HDD hehe). I changed the cables so now B is disk 4 and C is disk 0 and now it boots correctly, I mean, WF is no longer up, ESET takes the place.

What I fail to understand is the relation between firewalls and C not being the first physical disk, or maybe the problem was having a B drive on disk 0.

Is Windows that weird sometimes??

That shouldn't really matter, Windows dynamically keeps track of the disks and the Letter assignment is simply a logical assignment and the letter to physical is maintained as symbolic links

That's what I'm taking about, what is wrong in there to mix up drives, satas and firewalls?? Because when I changed B to A the path was A:0\...

They will be under device harddisk# and GLOBAL?? you want to select File > Run As Administrator since some of the info won't show otherwise
