Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply.
I’m using Windows 8.1 right now (but I used Linux to zero out the drive originally) – I presumed that it was part of the circuitboard as well, but it appears as if the VCD is just a 2nd read-only partition at the end of the drive as I managed to blow it away. It definitely doesn’t show up anymore.
The VCD is not in disk management or device manager. I did install the SES driver, but that shouldn’t affect the VCD.
