Ext. Drive:  make removable not local

Asked by top_rung in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: removable, local, drive, make

External USB or Firewire drives show up as Local Disks when plugged in.   Is there any way (registry or whatever) to force the OS (Windows OS - XP, 2000, etc.) to see the drive as a Removable Disk versus Local Disk?
