ABSTRACT:
A hard disk drive is rendered removable by modifying its ID buffer to indicate to the host computer that the hard drive is a removable media device. A drive assembly is mounted in a drive bay of the host computer and permanently connected to the assembly. A hard drive is mounted in a removable cartridge that is dimensioned for insertion into the drive assembly. The drive assembly reads the hard drive ID buffer, modifies the buffer and stores the same. Upon request from the host computer, the modified buffer is presented.
