I somehow formatted a 2.5" SATA drive in a enclosure to FAT32 using Partition Magic and I dont know what I did but it acts like one of my hard drive, it shows itself in My Computer under "Hard Disk Drives" and not in "Devices with Removable Storage" which it suppose to be in because its a removable device. I tired formatting and playing with the settings but it wont go. The drive works but I would like it to show up in Removable Devices

How can I get it into the proper spot ?

If it's connected through SATA, you would need special motherboard drivers for it to appear under removeable devices. I know some nforce chipsets have this if you choose to install it.

Normally SATA isn't considered removeable like USB would be.
