SYMPTOMS
After you switch your primary slave removable drive with a fixed disk drive, when you view the fixed disk drive in Device Manager, it may be listed as a removable drive.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, make the Removable option unavailable in the properties of the drive; to do so, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
 * 2) Click the Device Manager tab, and then double-click the Disk drives icon to expand it.
 * 3) Double-click the appropriate disk drive, click the Settings tab, and then click to clear the Removable check box.
 * 4) Click OK twice, and then restart your computer.
