Problems with HDD.

[no0ne]

So hi there.I have bought a new Samsung HD501LJ HDD.I formated it and everythings seems to be OK,but i have folowing problems.
Why when i wanna open new (recently created on new HDD) partitions it opens in new window ? it's really big discomfort.. And other thing.Why i'm seeing my new HDD like a USB flash,which i can just "stop" ?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking with your first question. Regarding your second question, that's the standard behavior with all SATA drives/controllers I have experience with in Windows. I don't recall the exact reason for it, but it's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

I'm not familiar with a way to disable that besides just hiding the icon in the tray. Maybe this bump'll get some more views for you and someone'll have something else to add.
