Problem with the presence of the "safely remove hardware" icon on notification area of winxp toolbar

[Battousai001]

Hi, I would like to ask, why is it that the "safely remove hardware" icon on the notification area of the toolbar appears while there are no removable device present, the bad thing is that the device that is being specified on the "safely remove hardware" to be removable is the internal SATA harddisk of the system which is very odd and I think is not normal. Is there a way to correct this and how could have this happened? I know I can remove this by selecting "always hide" the "safely remove hardware" icon but this is not advisable.

that is normal as SATA is a hot-swappable interface by design, so while your internal drive isnt, SATA as an interface is, so it shows up
