Why does XP show me the "safe to remove current hardware" in the Sys Trat for a Raptor HDD?

Installed as a SATA drive... Why would it think I want to remove it... It's my primary disk for programs and the OS??? How do I get rid of the annoying little Icon in my System try... I like a clean tray...

I thought about just answering that I wanted to remove it but then leave it alone... without trying to uninstall it... But I didn't want to hurt it... Any ideas, comments?
 
Well, I don't just want to "hide"... Isn't there a way to delete those anoying icons in the sys tray...?
 
Thats wierd but because of the nature of SATA, you could actually hot swap it. If you have windows XP install on the drive then I have no idea but I feel like you don't have XP installed on it so it would seem that you could "hot swap" it.
 
I have an MSI K8N Neo2 PLatinum as well, and my Seagate sata 160 gb harddrive shows up the same way. Maybe it is something in the mobo?
 
Mine does the same thing (one boot sata). I would guess it's something in the chipset/controllers specific to the mobo. It can be annoying, but it certainly comes in handy if you ever swap drives.
 
Most SATA controller support hot swap drives now. Windows shows this for any devices that can be swapped without shutting the machine down. A server we have at work shows every PCI and PCI-x card plugged in as swappable. It's normal for Windows to even show your boot drive as swappable.
