Question about 'Stop Windows from Detecting Devices'

I have a question about Stop Windows from Detecting Devices:

I just installed a new hardrive, using the old drive as a second drive (f:). Windows detects the old drive as "new hardware" and wants to reboot to "complete" installation. I just say "NO", and have no more troubles, but how do I stop windows from reinstalling every time without "disabling" the drive or reformatting?
