just added a SATA HDD....

ummm...what chipset are you on?

I'm on one of the nForce3 flavors
(250Gb northbridge/ MCP 2-s southbridge)
on a Gigabyte K8NSC-939 mobo, and the raid service installed by default
I don't even remember it asking me if I wanted the damned service

[tesco]

nForce4.
I'm wondering if maybe I chose not to install the raid drivers when I installed the nforce drivers.
Maybe if I run setup again and have it install raid drivers I can then disable the service and have the message go away

I dare you to.....

my guess is it's something they improved in the nForce4 chips,
or on your mobo, or whatever, but I have to deal with it

's'ok...this pc is gonna be designated the office pc after a while
was only my intro to 64 bit
I'm thinking quad core Opteron for the future
although I have to say I'd hate to see the price tag on those babies

I want that safely remove hardware icon gone.

[clocker]

Not gonna happen.
You can hide it of course, but it will always appear with a SATA drive installed.

I want that safely remove hardware icon gone.

ohhhh.....you didn't think I was doing away with the icon by disabling services?
that was just to shut the error messages* up, I still have the icon

*nvraidservice.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close, blahblahblah

Right click an unused part of in the system tray
Select Customize Notifications
Click Safely Remove Hardware
In the drop down box, select Always Hide
Click OK

Google is your friend

Btw, it's because your drivers mark the drive as hot swappable. I don't have that problem with Silicon Image or Via.
