    Safely Remove Hardware on SATA drives??

    I installed an update from Microsoft that was an Nvidia SATA driver
    update. Now there is a icon in the notification area saying
    Safely Remove Hardware and when I point to it its for my SATA drives
    (which are not removable). Its just damn ugly!!!
    Whats the best way to remove the update or remove the notification??



    thanks

    Roll back the drivers or ignore the entries. Most SATA drives are
    hot-pluggable and removable with the correct drivers installed.
