Disable Format Notification in Vista

Hi all,

I've started using TrueCrypt to encrypt a partition on an external USB hard drive. I've opted for using a raw partition as opposed to a file container.

But here's the annoyance. Whenever I connect this drive to a computer running Vista o I get the message popup "You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it".

The default option is "Format disk", and I'm afraid one of these days I'll accidentally trigger it.

Is there any way to disable this message?

RAW is not a valid file format - therefore your system is wanting you to format FAT32 or NTSF
