    i have SP2 Pro and i read in an earlier post about it being a Win Pro thing but i actually think its more of a chipset controller thing. For example on my previous board, i used the nvidia controller and i didn't get a safely remove hardware icon. But now i'm using the gigabyte controller and i have the icon. Just wondering if anybody had anything similar

    I believe the icon appears when windows identifies a certain removable device, like a media card reader or my hdds for instance.

    you most likely have different hardware (other than your mobo) than previously, or you just had the icon hidden :rolleyes: it can be answered when you ask yourself what it's telling you can be safely removed :p

    right, i know its the harddrive, it was just said that in a previous post that the safely remove hardware for SATA HDD's only appears in win XP Pro, and i didn't appear for me when it was on the nvidia conrtoller. like i said in the first post
