for some reason vista think my non removable drives are removable?
was working fine then for some reason it just started to see them as
removable hardware and i have the "safely remove hardware" icon in the task
bar for both my C and D drive.
may have started after a windows update!
i used the safely remove icon for the D drive and it became unusable till
after a reboot...

I know that some systems treat Sata drives as removable since they could be
eSata.
Possibly the update changed the drivers for this.

I believe the only thing you can do is uninstall the update. I think it is an
update for a nVidia driver.
