Hey everyone,

I only started getting this when I plugged in my HD (Western Digital Caviar WD2500KS 250GB SATA2) to my new motherboard, Asus M2N-E.
Every time I boot up my PC, the 'Found New Hardware' dialog pops up (referring to my hard drive) and then it shows my hard drive in the Safely Remove Hardware tray. Could this be because of the SATA2 hot-swap feature?
This hasn't caused any problems, just pretty much a minor annoyance :). Anybody get this also, and know how to get rid of it?!

Right-click the task bar and select properties, and switch to Notification Area tab, and then click Customize, then confirm whether Safely Remove Hardware is set to "Always Hide" in Behavior column...
