Fixed HD showing as removable??

[ACCORD MAN]

Hi,
I recently did a fresh install of WinXP.

And now, out of 3 hard drives, 2 are showing as removable hard drives.. Which means the little green/grey icon is on my taskbar. Both are sata, while the the other one is pata (the one that is ok).

Thanks!

Windows treats SATA hard drives as removable storage since they are (in many cases) hot-swappable.

I've heard that nvidia drivers for SATA HDs do this, if you uninstall them and use the windows drivers it won't happen.
