I have Built three puters in last few months using AMD 64 Cpus's, different mobo's and Cpus but all the using hatachi SATA HD's. All three systems show at bottom by the clock the "safe to remove" USB icon, i click on to see what it is and they all show it as the HD. 1 system runnin RAID so it show 2 dives...Is this normal, if no what to do....If yes how do i hide the icon?
 
Silver......Unsure what you mean by "normal"......it is SATA ive built many on Nforce2 an kt400 chipsets using SATA's an never seen this before, only these new 64 bit systems..
 
Hmmm, interesting you mentioned this. I have the Asus A8N SLI board and my WD 120GB SATA HD is listed in the "safely remove hardware" icon in the system tray.

New i wasnt the only one with this! So who to ask Microsoft...Nvidia?? hmmm
 
Just conjecture based on the evidence... Sounds like they are supporting "Hot Swap", which SATA is supposed to be able to do. Hmmm...
 
Yeah, my PC with XP does the same thing on an EPoX 9NDA3+ w/ seagate SATA drive... It is kind of annoying. Is there no way to get rid of the icon?
 
I was wondering about this too. That icon BUGS me!! I'm runnin an 80GB Seagate Barricuda SATA HD with the MSI Neo2 Platinum and i need to get rid of this ugly icon 😛


EDIT: BTW how come in the thread topic it says "USB Icon" ... I'm just having problems with it showing up and my HD is interally installed with the sata cable, no USB involved. Are you using USB for some kind of external HD?

So sounds like we have a winning answer, as this did cross my mind, so any answers how to disable the icon????????
 
Just set it to 'always hide'. Taskbar Context Click (right click for righties), Properties. Click the Customize... button, Select the Safely Remove Hardware entry in the container, which will reveal a drop-down box. Select Always Hide. Spouse Mode out.
