What I want is for this drive to act as a removable drive,
like a USB memory stick. That way I can click on the removable
drive ejector in the task bar and tell it to eject my removable
drive.

As a replacement for the 'savely remove hardware' dialog,
you could try my command line tool RemoveDrive:

Open a command prompt and enter

removedrive x:

where x is the drive letter to remove.

I've seen that it correctely prepares non removable SATA drives
for save removal. But I was not allowed to remove and reattach
the drive (not my computer). Please let me know if it works...
