External Drive Showing Up As Local...
My 1TB Western Digital external drive is showing up as a local drive under My Computer after I formated it. How do I make it show up as removable storage again?

That's all good. I tried to format it so that my Xbox would read it and, I failed, now It's showing up like this... The computer is reading it as it's plugged in, just showing up as a local drive not removable.
If you have your "My Computer" window set to "Show in Groups" it simply lumps USB HDs in with the other disk drives... it's no worry and nothing is broken.
Here's one of mine.... Thing works perfectly...
What likely changed is that when you formatted it the "Removable" flag in the drive's descriptor was reset.
