    Hi,
    I've installed a Promise sata card (SATA300â„¢ TX2plus) on my system (XP home sp2) and attached a sata II hard drive. The problem is that windows seams to think it's a hot swap drive and I get the "safely remove hardware" constantly in the systray. Is there a workaround?
    P.S.: so far I've tried uninstalling the card, updating drivers but the icon problem persist.

    That's normal to see that on many mobo's/controller cards.

    Best you can do is to use the taskbar hide feature and hide the icon.
