Hi all,

I've just rebuilt my desktop which has a M4 SSD installed. I installed Windows 8 from scratch and then updated to 8.1 - before I had Windows 7 and did an in-place upgrade to 8 and the 8.1.

I can now see in the notification area / system tray a "safely remove hardware" icon - where I can eject the OS SSD drive. It dosn't do anything (or course) but I'd like to remove the icon all the same.

Any ideas?

I think before when it was W7 -> Win 8 > Win 8.1 is was using a Marvell driver but now 8.1 has it's own driver - that may be the issue but I don't want to install an older driver just to fix that.

Ideas anybody?
