Harddisk showing as external drive in the tray.

[noob]

My 80gb samsung is showing in the tray as if it's an external (USB) drive. It's a green arrow icon and if you move the mouse over it a mouse tip pops up "Safely Remove Hardware". Why is it doing this? The disk is internal. I know it's small but it's anoying me.

Is it a SATA drive? If so then yes it will do this

Yes it's a SATA I only just reformatted maybe I didn't notice it last time because Windows hides inactive tray icons.

Cheers.
