is this a normal with SATA HDD??
I have build a Athlon 64 system for one of my friends. I used MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum board along with Seagate Barracuda 120GB SATA hard drive. For the first time I used a SATA HDD. Now when I plugged this drive to SATA 1 port, then in BIOS it was showing as Third boot device. My Primary Master was none, secondary master was the optical drive.....and third boot device was Seagate HDD. Now when I installed Windows XP, then in taksbar (in the right bottom of the window), one icon was there.....when I double clicked that icon (was a gray square with green arrow) it was stating "Safely romove hardware".......and in that Seagate HDD was there. So my question is......is this normal incase of SATA HDD??....there was only single drive in the system and no RAID!!

Yes, it is. SATA supports hot-plugging, and that icon appears for every hot-pluggable storage device.

Looking at it from the other side, while the SATA spec is hot swapable, not all motherbords support that feature. Apparently, the K8N Neo 2 does.
