I think JackTheRipper is referring to internal SATA drives. There's a way to hide attached USB devices so they don't show up in the notification area. For example, my all-in-one printer has 6 card readers that used to show up in the Safely Remove Hardware list. Since I can't unplug them, other than unplugging the printer, I didn't need for them to show up on this list.
So I right clicked the Task Bar and selected Properties, went to the Notification Area tab and clicked Hide inactive icons and then clicked Customize. There I selected the hardware I wanted to hide and those applications I wanted to show up all the time.
I just not sure if this will work with SATA drives or if it's the info JackTheRipper is searching for. |
