Removable media include CD-ROM disks and other removable disks, such as Zip disks. There are a limited number of actions you can do in Storage Foundation for Windows for removable disks.
You can perform the following actions:
You can create only one primary partition on removable-media devices. You cannot create extended partitions, logical drives, or dynamic volumes on removable-media devices. The primary partition must use up all unallocated space on the removable disk.
You cannot upgrade removable-media devices to dynamic volumes.
Removable-media devices can be formatted as FAT, FAT32, or NTFS.
You cannot mark the primary partition on a removable-media device as active.
You cannot delete the primary partition on a removable-media device.
The Eject command lets you eject a removable-media disk through the software rather than by a manual ejection mechanism.
