Safely Remove Hardware for a SATA harddrive.

I recently installed a new Western Digital SATA 10,000rpm raptor harddrive. It's now my primary Windows drive and my older 80GB IDE one is used for just storage. I had no problems setting the IDE harddrive as a slave or booting with the new SATA one.

Now when I enter windows there's a safely remove icon in the tray that looks like this when double-clicked:

I can't just stop it because obviously it's my main harddrive. Searching for help on google just told me how to hide it within the tray by right-clicking and going to hide inactive icons. I really don't want any more tray icons cluttering up my system, so is there a way to remove it with the registry or something? How the hell do I get rid of this thing?
