windows 7 - How to mount a USB thumb drive as "Fixed" instead of "Removable"

I have over 8 GB in my "Code Library" that I maintain on a 64 GB ScanDisk Ultra Backup USB Device.


Windows Search 4.0 (installed on Windows XP) can index removable drives, but Windows 7 (which uses Windows Search 4.0) cannot, because the USB device identifies itself as a Removable drive and Windows 7 refuses to index removable drives.


How can I mount the USB Thumb Drive as Fixed instead of Removable?
