The removable drive fix works. Let me explain what's happening.

Gparted unmounts a file system. The program used to auto-mount removable drives detects an unmounted filesystem, and mounts it. It doesn't matter if it's removable or not, if you c an unmount it, it counts as removable to the program used to auto-detect removable drives. How else does it tell if it's removable, you think there's a hand inside your linux box that feels for removable and non-removable drives? Of course not. It's "removable" if it's unmountable.

Once again, turning off auto-mount removable media WORKS. This is a temp fix, yes, but to be fair it's only an inconvenience to use this fix, it doesn't break anything else.
