It's here on my Vista Home Premium...are you sure it's not been hidden in
the Systray?

Hi, Peter.

See if this helps...

In Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc), right-click on the disk (in the left
column of the Graphical View) and choose Properties. On the Policies tab,
make sure to set it to Optimize for Quick removal (no cache), rather than
for Better Performance. Quick removal is the default, but it may have been
changed somehow.
