If you know any other trick, feel free to share it in your comment… That’s the best workaround which I know at the moment. Now Windows 8.1 Explorer will show hard disk drives, CD/DVD drives and devices with removable storage in separate sections. Now again right-click on empty area and select “ Group by -> File System” option.Ĥ. Now enable “ File System” checkbox and click on OK button.ģ. Open Windows 8.1 Explorer or “This PC” window, right-click on empty area and click on “ Group by -> More…” option.Ģ. If you are ready to change the group by type, simply follow these simple steps:ġ. So if we set group by type to “File System” in Windows 8.1 Explorer, it’ll show all 3 types of drives in separate sections and that’s what we wanted. Also most of the removable drives such as USB drives, memory cards are formatted in FAT32 file system. You can take help of a built-in group by type “ File System” in Windows 8.1 Explorer to separate hard disk drives, CD/DVD drives and removable drives.Īctually most of the hard disk drives are formatted in NTFS file system and CD/DVD drives have different file systems. Unfortunately there is no known way to separate or unmerge “Hard disk drives” and “Devices with removable storage” sections in Windows 8.1 Explorer.īut today in this topic, we are going to share a simple workaround to overcome this problem. It looks weird and causes difficulties in finding out the devices in My Computer window.
Sometimes it really becomes annoying when we attach USB drives, memory cards or mobile phones to our computers and their drive icons appear at the top or in the middle of existing drives in Windows 8.1 Explorer. Is there any way that we can make it simple like Windows 7? I want to know how to separate Hard disk partitions, DVD drives and other devices in Windows 8.1 like Windows 7? It becomes really irritating when I connect my android phone and pen drive to my computer and all things get mixed up.
