| | RE: non removable drives I know that some systems treat Sata drives as removable since they could be eSata. Possibly the update changed the drivers for this. -- Paul "mac" wrote: Quote: > for some reason vista think my non removable drives are removable? > was working fine then for some reason it just started to see them as > removable hardware and i have the "safely remove hardware" icon in the task > bar for both my C and D drive. > may have started after a windows update! > i used the safely remove icon for the D drive and it became unusable till > after a reboot... |
