    How to remove SATA HD from "Safely remove hardware"

    I installed an internal SATA drive. Now the "Safely remove hardware" icon is always in the system tray with an option to remove this hard drive. How can I get rid off in this menu? It does not make sense to remove an internal drive; nor does it to remove the system drive. Thanks!

    How to adjust CPU speed

    Yeah, it is working now. thanks! Just wondering why it is not a separate control. Why it is only available in one power setting?

    How to adjust CPU speed

    It says I have to set the power setting to Minimal Power Management. When I change the setting, there is nothing new showing up. Does it mean that I can't let the machine go into Standby with Cool'n'Quiet? Thanks!
