That's very interesting. It almost seems like this is occurring
randomly to many different people with different configurations. All of
my drives that are hitting this were partitioned and formatted in
Windows XP and are external. The only drive I have that was created by
Vista is the drive Vista is installed on; all the rest are leftovers
from my XP x64 days, which of course had exactly the same problem. I
really hope they fix this soon; its so frustrating not being able to use
one or two (and yesterday is was three) hard drives because they are
showing write-protected after every single reboot and not being able to
encrypt the data on the drive for fear of losing it at the next reboot.
