SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE - icon missing in tray

[Bill Hosay]

I just upgraded a Gateway Solo5300 to Win2k_Pro with sp4
as a new install.
The SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE icon is NOT in the Tray.
The CD & floppy are hot swapable.

I am wondering is there a Registry setting to turn this
icon needed for hardware swapping ?

Pull one of 'em out and see what happens.

If the system barfs an error dialog, the options
to turn the SysTray stuff off and on may be there...

Hello,

I would like to suggest you to uninstall and then reinstall the CD drive.
Test to see if the problem persists.

Thanks.
