I have a hard drive in a removable cradle. How do I set
the drive to be recognized as removable by XP? I would
like to have the option of using the "safely remove
hardware" applet to enable and disable the drive without
shutting down the computer. possible? currently I can
shut down the drive with no obvious ill effects, but if I
power it up, it is not recognized by xp until I reboot.
thanks
 
I thought the drive had to be configured to be removable -
ie. the manufacturers create an EXTERNAL drive to be
removable - didn't know you could do this with an
internal one aswell - you mean like digital cameras,
memory sticks etc?
