Why is my hard drive........

[Nick_Leo]

Why is my sata hard drives detected as removable disks and i can go to remove them with the remove hardware safely thing on the task bar?

I just reinstalled xp and now i have this prob?

Because they are removable drives.
You can also add another drive while Windows is running as long as you use the SATA power connector.
Try it, I've used this feature many times, its called Hot Plugging.
