It depends on what drive you're talking about. If you mean something that you would see in the file: "My Computer" that says for instance: "Drive_C", that is not a removable media type. That is the internal hard drive that your computer stores all of its information in. But if you have an external hard drive, that isn't considered a removable media either. Here's an example of a removeable storage device. If you have a 1, 5, 10, etc. GB flash drive, that is a removable storage media device (I have one plugged into my computer as I'm typing). Does that answer your question?

Non-removable means the storage space that is mounted inside the computer chassis. Thumbdrives, CD's and USB hard drive attachments are classified as Removable since they are easily removed from the computer. The internal hard disk is a more permanent storage space. Unfortunately it's a misnomer because even the internal hard drive is "removable"! It just requires tools most times and a little bit more effort.
