USB hard drive nonremovable?

Guest

My USB hard drive loads in the device manager as nonremovable (no storage
volumes).
Also the drive icon and drive label does not appear.
Shows up with no drive letter in Device Manager, I set a drive letter from
Device Manager, under properties still no drive letter except in the Device
Manager.
Rebooting has doesn't work (back to the beginning)
I used diskpart from the command line to assign a drive letter, still no go.

Back up program works with the drive. Can backup and restore.
Call Seagate and they don’t know why.
My camera and my small usb hard drive works.

Microsoft Windows XP service pack 2 installed

What’s the fix?

Have a look in the bios...
there may be a setting for removable /non-removable
