    no, I only have 1 sata cable at the moment so I just unplugged the 320 and switched it with the 750.
    I made up an RMA through Seagate.
    It is always good to have a few extra cables, so you can troubleshoot problems

    Hi Chaps,

    I had the same problems, I was asking the oracle (Google) but nothing! It was only when i reached a zen like state of anger and was using my Ninja mind skills on the disk manager that i realsied, something soooo simple that i nearly collapsed into a singularity....... Windows had not yet assigned it a Drive Path/Letter. I promptly right clicked the volume (that wasnt appearing ) and chose

    --> Change Drive Letter and Paths <--

    I then used the top option and chose a letter, Clicked OK and VOILA!!! i had my 1 Tb Sata Volume in the "Computer" window. I hope this helps a few, let us know how you get on :)

I have the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon in my system tray. One of my drives, a WD20EARS (WD Green 2TB) is listed there. I want the icon to go away since I obviously have no need to eject the drive. How can I stop Windows from thinking it's a drive that's ejectable?
