SATA HDD wrongly detected

gamerman4 · 10-08-2005, 03:17 AM

due to a recent OS failure, I reinstalled XP and now it thinks my SATA HDD is removable. It has that "Safely Remove Hardware" icon at the bottom and it asks to remove the HDD. How would I fix this? There are no problems or anything but I find it uncomfortable thinking that if I accidentally click it, it might screw something up.
