guaterickie Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hey everyone i just finished installing Kalyway which was a REALLY smooth installation. Used virginizer to make it retail and running like a champ. Everything i can think of is working. GUID, EFI, Vanilla Kernel, Time Machine, Ethernet, DVD Drive, Sound! Its perfect except for this little ting My hard drive is displayed as external and it is internal. it is a 160GB SATA HDD and when i used iATKOS i didnt have this problem. Anyway to resolve this, its a minor flaw and i dont really care that much but it would be nice. thanks!

WeRD Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Just wanted to mention that I am having the same issue. As guaterickie said, it's not that big of a deal because nothing is affected - everything is still working. It's just weird and I'm not a fan of the external drive icon, I'd much prefer the standard one. System stats are in my sig.

craigusoz Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I thought that this was a normal consequence of using SATA drives with the AHCI BIOS - they are then hot-pluggable and so are displayed as removable.

WeRD Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Ah, makes sense to me. In that case, anyone know of a way to change the icon being used for a drive?
