    To hide the extra power cables I would move your dvd burner down a slot and tuck up all the unused cables up there.:think:

    Guys,
    I'm having another problem now. Apparently, windows detect my C: and D: as a removable hardware. Is there any solution for it? Check the 1st picture...

    SATA is technically hot removable devices. I don't think you can remove that.

    Make disk? Looks like it allows you to create new RAID array.

    so which RAID should i choose? 32 bit or 64 bit? what is a RAID anyway?

    Not applicable. You don't have to choose any. Those are actually RAID driver disks (to install windows if you built a RAID array). But to build a RAID array, you need at least two hard drives to begin with (identical ones).

    I also face another problem.
    This comp has a total of 5 profiles (which includes mine).
    Everytime when i tried to switch profile the screen will blackout and then on standby mode. After that it ask me to check signal cable. What is the most possible factor for this kind of case?

    It's hot removable, as long as it is not the windows drive. C: and D: ? these are on one drive or on two different drives?

    I don't think it will allow you to remove C:.

    SkylineRemix: Looks like driver problem.

    If you remove C: , what happens? :mrgreen:

    I have those safely remove icon too on my C2D system. In addition, I even have the power option icon which I can't disable it from showing in system tray. After disable, it doesn't show. But when I restart my PC, it shows again. Stupid icon.. :faint:

    No you can't remove C:...

    You'll be able to remove any drive that isn't the drive that you installed your OS.

    It's NOT a problem la... Don't panic. :)

    It's listed as a removable drive because it is a SATA drive which is hot-pluggable. If I'm not mistaken, you installed it on your external SATA controller, instead of the integrated one.
