Default Safely Remove Hardware option for my hard drive????
I just built this comp, and for some reason, it has my (1) hard drive as a removable disk. Is there a way I can make it so that it doesn't appear as removable?

SATA hard drives seems to do that. I haven't found a way to remove it, though it isn't causing any harm. You're fine if you leave it there.

I'm just a perfectionist, and don't like seeing the icon :P

Simple. To hide it, at least.
1. Right-Click the Taskbar.
2. Click Properties.
3. Make Sure Hide Inactive Items is selected at the bottom, and click customize.
4. Look for safely Remove Hardware, and click to the right of it, where it says Hide When Inactive
5. Change it to Always Hide.
DONE.
