sata hd question

[maxspeed]

hey guys i just installed a new 500 gb internal sata hd. I formated it with ntfs and it works but it shows up as a removable device. anyone know why?

it shows up next to my ipod and when i check it in disk management it also says its removable.

I think that's just how it goes with SATA HDDs added after install. Assuming its not the system or windows drive, then technically they are a removable drive (as they support hot swapping).
