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: 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... |

I believe the only thing you can do is uninstall the update. I think it is an
update for a nVidia driver. -- Paul "mac" wrote: do you know how i can fix this? "PaulB" wrote: I know that some systems treat Sata drives as removable since they could be eSata.
