Windows 7 - External drive shows as internal

| | External drive shows as internal I have a Rosewill RX-DU100 Sata drive dock. Whenever I plug a HD into it on any of my Windows 7 Pc's, it shows up as an internal drive. That's great for me as I use Carbonite and they only backup internal drives. I was wondering why Windows 7 sees it as an internal and I could fool Windows into thinking other drives were internal as well? |

| | If you are connecting using the eSATA connection and not a usb that would basically explain it away. |

| | In that case, how are you determining that the drive is showing as internal? |
