Forum Windows Vista : Drivers Why does my Pc show other devices when I click Safely remove hardware

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
Not everytime, but many times, I've clicked on my "safley Remove Hardware" and It shows there are devices in 3 other drives. And the the drive I want to remove is always on a seperate line, but the other 3 are in the same line. Is this a security issue?

Register or log in to remove.

No, it's just showing you all the drives that it sees that it things can be removed. On my system, my SAS hard-drive is shown as well as any removable drives I used. Do you have a hard-drive partitioned in 3? Or maybe a card reader?
