This is do-able with any drive. I used to use Hammer Tools to format drives and it
would do this - erroneously set the drive as if it was a renoveable disc.
This makes it a "target" drive in Retrospect, and you can imagine the consequences on
a fileserver that also ran Retrospect.
I'd stick to Drive Setup or make sure the volumes are not flagged as "removeable
media".
