Posted April 20, 200915 yr On my XP Pro SP3 system all of my SATA drives show up in Safely Remove Hardware. On my Server 2008 with Hyper-V none of my SATA drives show up in Safely Remove Hardware. The XP system has one ADDONICS AESNAPMRSA SNAP-IN SATA MOBILE RACK - STORAGE ENCLOSURE. The Server system has two. These allow me to plug in or remove a SATA drive while the system is running. On the XP system I simply select the drive in the Safely Remove Hardware window and press Stop then press OK and I can remove the drive. The Server 2008 system does not show the SATA drives as removable. If I connect a USB drive it does show as removable. Is this a known problem and is there a fix available?
