I have a second hard drive, D:\, which shows up as a removable disk, instead of a local/fixed disk like C:\ does. D:\ has all the right properties, I can access it, everything is correct under FDISK, when I view the partition info. Not really a big deal, as the disk is okay. I'm just wondering why...
