| 444090 | 2006-04-05 08:30:00 | In my taskbar it has a icon telling me that I can safely remove hardware. When I looked to see what hardware it was talking about, it says that it is my hard disk drive! Ofcourse I don't want to disconnect my harddrive! How can I make this safely remove hardware icon go away? | Tony Tucker (9565) | ||
| 444091 | 2006-04-05 08:40:00 | So, I take it, its an IDE its talking about, not a USB external hdd?? If its a USB hdd, that's normal. |

| 444093 | 2006-04-05 09:31:00 | You sure it isn't a sATA hard drive you have? Some of them appear as removable devices as they are technically hot-swappable. Best not try this out on the drive running Windows. :p | Jen (38) | ||
| 444094 | 2006-04-05 10:11:00 | It will be sata - they show up with that icon. IDE drives don't. Technically its because sata are hot swappable. You can't get rid of it - just ignore it. |

| 444095 | 2006-04-05 11:02:00 | Hmm, wonder why this SATA doesnt appear as a removable disk then. Its onboard SATA. |

| 444096 | 2006-04-05 11:05:00 | I remember reading about this, and I think not all drives/controllers do this. | Jen (38) | ||
| 444097 | 2006-04-05 11:14:00 | Ah it looks like some Nforce 4 mobos and I would say most SATA II hdd's (this is only SATA 1), appear as removable disks. Thats if you use the nvidia drivers. If u delete the drivers and use the MS drivers, it'll most probably still work, but without the safely remove hardware icon. |

| 444098 | 2006-04-05 20:52:00 | It says it is at Location 0 Primary ATA channel, and my motherboard is a Nforce one I believe. If this is normal for this icon to be there then that is allright, I just thought that there must have been something wrong thats all. Thank you for your help. | Tony Tucker (9565) | ||
