Browse to your SD card location ("C:\Media Container" if you changed its mount point to what I suggested above). Under the Action menu at the top, select "Create VHD". This way, the SD card won't show up anymore as a separate drive anymore, but can still be accessed by the system for the virtual drive. You can stick this somewhere onto your main drive, I chose "C:\Media Container". Remove the drive letter and add a new mount point to an empty NTFS folder. Optional (only possible if you chose to format the SD card to NTFS): select the partition on your SD card, and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths". Furthermore, this wlll enable the next optional step directly below. As the card will be a permanent fixture and cross-platform compatibility doesn't matter, might as well go with a more modern file system. Optional: ensure that your SD card is formatted to NTFS. Open Disk Management (from my Start menu search, it shows up as "Create and format hard disk partitions"). This is not absolutely necessary, but the amount of free space on the SD card will become the amount of space on your new disk. Optional: clear out the contents of your SD card. In a nutshell, instead of storing files on the SD card, which of course Windows sees as a removable drive, it is possible to instead fill the entirety of the SD card with a virtual hard drive, which can then be mounted in Windows, and is treated as an actual hard drive. I've managed to solve my own problem, but it is not exactly the simplest solution.
