SATA HDD show up in 'Safely Remove Hardware'?

[Insomniacno1]

Hi to all, something strange but appearently I'm not the only one
experiencing it: In XP Pro SP2 and SP3, the internal SATA HDD where XP is
installed onto, shows up in 'Safely Remove Hardware'. That is a definate bug,
since its the internal HDD and its not likely that you are not going to
remove that.

Anyone got a fix for this, and I'm not looking for a way to mess around with
the registry like this fix:

I'm more into a reg fix that can be installed permanently or an update from
MS fixing this error

Hope some tech from MS can help on this

Thanx in advance

With kind regards

JBJ

BTW. my version is Danish XP Pro SP3.

Are you using the SATA drive in AHCI mode?

If so, I guess that it's supposed to be hot swappable. (I'm confused as to
how the drive containing the OS would appear on the list, yet it may.)

It's a feature, not a bug.

Its not a bug, its a feature of your chipset.
You cannot stop / remove the drive upon which win is installed
