I had a little trouble getting my system to recognise my Western Digital Raptor.

It was showing up in BIOS and Windows would format it at setup but wouldn't go any further. When it rebooted to carry out the next stage it would just go back to checking system requirements.

So, I set XP up on another drive and got Windows to see it.

I then installed Windows on the Raptor.

However, as the title says, Windows now thinks it's a removable drive.

Any way of sorting this out?

Cheers.
