Remove local (boot) disk from device eject menu?
I upgraded my sister's computer from Vista to 7, and now her boot disk shows up as an ejectable drive. how do I fix this, as I'm pretty sure Windows will become unstable if she accidentally ejects the boot drive

somewhere it must be getting marked as "hot-swappable" I'll check the BIOS, but is there a switch in regedit? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Apple 17" iMac MA199LL (Early 2006)

You might be able to get it out when you uncheck the buffering (write caching) - in Device manager, Device properties > Policies. It is worth a try. But that may slow down the system a bit. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops
