I have a particular application where I need to make four partitions on a non-resident SCSI hard disk drive appear as "removable" drives, so that Windows 2000 will remount the drives every time I open them in Explorer.
The drive is located in a 68040-based computer device which is bus master. It's SCSI port is connected to the SCSI controller in the Windows 2000 PC.
The problems is that when Windows writes to the drive and the other device writes to the drive, one doesn't know what the other is doing to the FAT table, resulting in corruption and cross linking.
I need to have Windows remount the drive every time I open it, so it needs to treat it like a removable drive. I don't know how to do this though. In Win 95 it was as easy as using the properties menu and selecting removable instead of fixed from a list. In Windows 2000, obviously the method is different. So how can I do this?
