How to remove (not hide!) the icon? I'm sorry for the mistakes, I'm from Russia, the text was written with the help of an Google Translate.

I wouldn't worry about accidentally "removing" your hard drive, though, since it will be in use and you won't be able to.

Replace Controller/Channel numbers with the ones used by your SATA devices. You can find these in the device manager. Save it as a .reg file (extension). Double click to apply the file. Make sure you back up your registry befory trying it.

Check Microsoft's Windows forum...post your question there. http://windows7forums.com/ ------------------------- Intel I7 960 @ 3.87ghz Intel DX58SO HIS HD6970 2gb Corsair TX650M 2x4gb Corsair XMS3 WD Black 1TB Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Gateway HD2401 24" 2ms 1920x1200 *Asus N71Jq laptop Intel I7 720QM Processor Mobility Radeon HD5730 1gb 8gb Ram Windows 7 64bit *Acer 5750 laptop A clear conscience is usually a sign of bad memory *

Old mistake, always use drivers provided by your laptop manufacturer, not the chipset provider. Another mistake: there's a laptop subforum for a reason. Use it.
