I installed my new hard drive and it comes up as a removable drive in XP Pro. Everything works just fine but its just strange. Any ideas? Wondering if it could be a bios thing or what.

I dont know why, and it doesnt really bother me because it works perfect and I've tested with HD tach and Seek time and all that is in check with the specs of the drive. Also to make it my primary boot I have to set the bios to boot from removable. |
