Hey peeps.

I recently installed a new hard drive and did a fresh install of windows. Now the hard drive is showing up in the task bar under 'safely remove hardware and eject media'. Did i not install it properly?

Thanks.

Nope. That's perfectly normal :)

Sometimes certain SATA ports recognize internal storage devices as removal devices; it happens for everyone. This is why it shows up in your taskbar like that.

If you accidently click eject, it would just say "unable to complete this action", or something similar, as it is an internal harddrive.

This happens to many people including me with my old PC. You're safe, don't worry!
