Hello, I just built a new PC for a technophobe friend, and I notice that the
single hdd in the system - SATA - is showing on the Safely Remove Hardware
list. This will be very problematic since my friend will be plugging USB
devices into this computer, especially his usb pen drive, and I'm afraid he's
going to confuse his SATA hdd with his pen drive or other device and
accidentally deactivate the hdd. I don't know what this does to the OS, and
I'm not about to experiment, but is there any way to prevent the SATA hdd
from appearing in the Safely Remove Hardware list? I've searched for such an
option, but can't find one.
Thanks,
Byron Gibson
