Just installed Windows 2000 to a 2GB Compact Flash card using an
Addonics CF-IDE adapter on my Stylistic 2300 --- but the CF cards in
the adapter are listed as Removable drives, so no Recycle Bin support
--- how can I change these to be seen as Fixed Drives?

Thanks!

Not sure if you can, your motherboard bios is updated, also any chipset
driver?

Since an internal HD can, depending on the controler its connected to, also
be seen as a removable device I'm not sure 'no Recycle bin' has any
relevence / context, to this type of setup
I certainly show Recycle support on a removable drive on my sys

When I attach any sort of storage which reads as ``Removable'' to my
Windows 2000 system, anything deleted is instantly removed and doesn't
appear in the Recycle Bin --- quite a change from my Macs --- is there
a way to change this behaviour so as to enable the Recycle Bin on
removable drives? I did a default install of Windows 2000 (Pentium
233MHz, 160MB RAM, 2GB Compact Flash).

My apologies, forgot to answer this --- yes, BIOS is up-dated. It's
using the Windows standard IDE driver to access the CF-IDE adapter
AFAICT. How would I check or change that?

I meant the motherboard chipset drivers, obtained from mobo site, or mobo cd
(This might only affect as to whether the drive is seen as removable)

Are you saying a Recycle folder is not shown under C:\ ?
