sata hardrive detection problem with xp

[John Collopy]

Dear all


Hello there. Have 2 sata drives set up as Raid 0 on one controller and have
added a seperate sata drive for data backup on another controller. Both
controllers are on motherboard (ASUS). Problem I am having is that Windows
XP Pro has detected this harddrive as a (Safely remove hardware) peripheral.
Have tried to remove driver but everytime I reboot, it comes up as same. Not
a major problem but I would like to resolve it if I can.

I'm not 100% certain about this but if it's a hotswappable drive it might
indeed show up like that by design? If I'm wrong someone will surely correct
me. If I'm right then we'll have both learned something.
