You can choose your driver by clicking my computer on the left panel, when you see your drive you want on the right double click it and finaly you can save it there

I’m having the same problem as julian & zoxor, did someone ever provide a solution? I have a acer laptop with a hitachi hard drive.

I am having the same issue as above. Make the changes, it goes away. Maybe I should go into BIOS?

Hi I am trying to put a SATA drive with windows vista (corupt) in an external drive and then pull the data off the drive by copying to an XP machine. The drive, when I click on the E drive, asks if I want to format the drive. Is there a way to get at the data?

@whs

Thanks for the note… I updated the article, and added another screenshot while I was at it. Much better!

Just an editorial: In this sentence you may want to add “go to properties” before “select the policies tab”. May be easier for the “uninitiated”.

“Open the Disk drives section of the tree, and right-click on your hard drive. Select the Policies tab, and you should see this dialog:”

I was just curious; what constitutes a ‘loss of power’?

If you are running a RAID array, eventhough Vista sees the array as a disk drive, you cannot set the settings on. This is generally accomplished through the RIAD console of your controller.
