Removable = anything that could be removed, including USB and FireWire
drives.  This MAY have improved, I gave up on it about a year ago and
went the VMware route (a 32MB virtual machine has pretty much zero
noticable overhead on modern hardware).  The really telling part about
this was that I could get higher throughput rates going via smb to the
vm than I could with the native disk formatted as ntfs.
