Please help.
Which componnent I need to use that it will recognize USB Disk On Key as:
DRIVE_REMOVABLE?
Now it recognize as DRIVE_FIXED.
I tried it with several usb disk on key and all shows DRIVE_FIXED.
On my XP system it show DRIVE_REMOVABLE.
 
Have you included the USB 2.0 Boot component? If so the "USB Boot Mass
Storage Device" will cause this behavior.
 
Thanks for the fast answer,
I added this componnnet after your post but it did not help to solve this
problem.

Something are missing yet.

You have the USB 2.0 Boot component in your configuration. This puts in a
usbstor.sys file that makes the first USB key fixed.
 
Sorry I meant that you need to remove the USB 2.0 Boot component and the USB
Boot Mass
Storage Device component. As this one is replacing the usbstor.sys file
which is resulting that the Disk On Keys are recognized as fixed disks.

If the USB Mass Storage Update KB931788 component gets added to the
configuration then the first USB flash drive on the system will be marked
as fixed. The reason for this is USBSTOR.SYS v5.3.1201.0. Replace this
file with v5/1/2600.2180
