How do I "install" a disk drive
Hi, How do I "install" (for lack of a better name) a disk drive that is marked as "removable" in WinXP? The concepts of removable versus fixed disk drives is a self defeating concept anyway because every drive is removable once the system box is opened up. Just as an aside, the disk drive in question is a 16 GB Patriot SDHC module in my Acer Aspire One netbook. I use it as drive D: I discovered a little program called FlashFire that speeds up writes for the internal 8 GB Intel SSD. Flashfire works by providing a write buffer and my benchmarks say that its performance is indistinguishable from a spinning hard drive. But FlashFire does not work on the external SDHC. I think that the WinXP will not allow a write buffer for what it thinks is a "removable" drive. In addition, there are a plethora of other benefits that would ensue from "installing" the "removable" drive. I've added glue so that the SDHC module remains in place. Thanks in advance for helpful advice. |
