Default Safely Remove Hardware on taskbar?
Hello All, on my 2 new motherboards, both completely different boards, I show a notification on the taskbar that is labled "Safe Remove Hardware" and when I click on it for info it shows my only hard disk in the system. Obviously, this is my only hard disk and I don't plan on removing it.

2 Questions.

1. Is this normal with my configuration?

2. Can I disable this from showing on the taskbar?

Thanks for any help. I didn't worry about it on my second system, but on my new build I just want to make sure it is ok.

1. Yes, if you have nVidia chipsets.
2. Who cares. If you really try to remove it, it says it can't. Just leave it be.

Yep....

SATA = Hot-swappable so it would show up as removable.

Was always tempted to try it.
