I have a Dell Optiplex GX240 and have installed an external drive [Apricorn EZ Bus DT] http://www.apricorn.com/shopping.php?ID=226 with a 160 Gig HHD. I am running Windows XP Pro and 2.0 USB. Am new at XP and when I set this up I marked the drive as "active". Every thing works fine but the drive searches when it is turned on. I have installed files on the drive but wish to have it "non active", how do I reverse what I did. The drive is formated NTFS, do I have to reformat and start over?
