I recently reinstalled mine on my L:, which is a USB enclosure with a 200gig hard drive in it. I swap that drive out on occasion.
When I first boot windows, I have to right click on MY COMPUTER and select MANAGE, then select DISK MANAGEMENT. I then right click on the drive and reactivate it.
Windows knows it is a removeable hard drive, so it turns off the cache write, so you won't lose information if the power goes out or there is a crash. Using cache writes is faster, but you really will not notice the speed difference.
