Technically, SATA ports are supposed to be hot-pluggable so e.g. you can replace failed drives in an internal RAID array without having to turn the computer off. If your motherboard supports hot plugging, your internal drives may show up as ejectable.
If that's what's going on, your BIOS may have options to turn off hot-plugging for certain SATA ports. Otherwise, it can sometimes be fixed by hacking the registry:

I'm actually not sure what Windows will do if you try to eject the system drive. If it does let you eject the system drive (crashing the system), then obviously this is something you'd want to fix just to eliminate the risk of accidentally clicking your system drive while trying to eject something else.
