Was looking for this code. But I got a strange result. It returns present for my thumbdrive (normal USB flash drive), but absent for my external 3.5" USB hard disk.
It's just a normal hard disk in a USB enclosure, no special features or anything. It shows up as a mass storage device which can be "stopped" as normal using the icon in the system tray. Formatted in NTFS.
Is it supposed to be that way? Am using Win XP SP2.

haha tks for the welcome. Anyway it's just an old online FPS nickname from several years back, too lazy to get used to a new one.
I just find it strange coz my Ext USB HDD should be considered a "removable media" too. Oh well, too bad i guess.

I guess Freak prefers 'killfreak' more than 'lovefreak'

Too bad that any of these examples here will also say a regular 3.5" Floppy Disk old-school style to become a Flash/USB Key/Drive too
