I had a computer with Windows XP on it, and a computer with Windows 7. I had a flash drive in the XP computer so long that it switched positions from removable storage to hard drive. The flash drive still works on other computers. I deconstructed the XP computer and put the hard drive in my 7 computer as a slave, and I didn’t uninstall the operating system from the drive, and have no intention of doing so. The main drive is still in the computer and still runs 7 for it, and no settings have been transferred from the XP computer. Here is the issue now: when I put the flash drive into the windows 7 computer windows ties to recognize it as a hard drive instead of a removable drive, and it causes the device to malfunction. I can see the device as a hard drive, then it says that the drive is lost. Any suggestions?
