Why do my Hard Drives show up as Removable?

[popejohn2]

I have as my C drive 2 hard drives in a Raid 0 configuration. I also have a 3rd hard drive for my D drive.

My problem is that all these hard drives show up as Removable Drives with the 'green arrow' drive icon in my systems tray in the lower right of my desktop.

I would really like it so that my hard drives didnt show up as removable drives in this icon so that I don accidentially disconnect them.

Is this standard any time you have Raid or is there some setting here that is messed up?

Thanks.

it's normal if they are sata drives

yes they are sata. so are you saying theres no way to keep them from appearing as a removable drive?

It could be a problem in the BIOS. Check your motherboard manufacturer's site for an update.

Think about it - SATA drives ARE hot pluggable and removable. That makes the entry proper. You want it to be incorrect?
