Theres an icon of an arrow and a hard drive and it says safely remove hardware... when i click it, it asks me to select to the device i want to unplug or eject. My hard drive is the only choice possible. Why is this icon there and how do i turn it off? It wont go away.
Safely Remove Hardware?
- Thread starter taco1435

I have this same thing since my rebuild last weekend and would like to know how to turn it off. It really isn't anything too annoying but still. I have a 160 gig sata on my # 1 sata connector on the A8N-E board. I assume the task tray icon just means my drive is hot swapable. On my old A8V Deluxe I only would get this "safe to remove drive" task tray icon if I plugged in my external 2.5 inch mobile drive. WHAT GIVES?
You are probably using SATA-II drives and/or ports. SATA-II is hot swapable, hence the icon.

I guess that is a good thing? I didn't have this on my other board and I believe my seagate 7200.7 is sata1. Oh well not a big deal, when I press the icon is says cannot diconnect because it is in use. SORRY for the highjack
I had that too. Then I added 2 more hard drives and now I have a RAID 5 setup, so there's no icon
AFAIK, the only way to get rid of it is to set it to "Always Hide". Right clcik Taskbar --> Properties --> go to "Hide inactive icons" --> Customize.

I have this on my computer when my printer is on. My printer is a photo printer with a card reader in it. It recognizes it as another drive.
I also get it when I am using my game pad.
Don't know if this helps or not
