| | Does your board support hot swapping? I have seen that happen before with controllers that support hot swap. |

| | If that's the case it's simply how the board presents it's drives to windows. It would probably mean disabling the feature altogether which is not something I would really reccomend doing. |

| | In your motherboard bios if you change your sata controller to IDE instead of ACHI it will fix the problem because it's ACHI that is making your drive hot swap capable. If you want to change from ACHI to ide without reformatting you will want to read this [Solved] Can I switch from AHCI to IDE without re-format/re-install? - General-Storage - Storage But ask yourself is it really worth all the effort to remove an icon? It's up 2 u |

| | As you have found out the safely remove icon for the HDD is to show it is capable of hot swapping, this is perfectly normal and I recommend leavig the system on AHCI as it has other advantages over IDE |
