I downloaded Google Chrome and I can't remember how to remove the white harddrive icon from my desktop without either ejecting it (which means it pops back every time I click on it in my dock), or deleting it. Also when it's in the dock it only shows up as a question mark anyway. Thank

Click on your desktop, so it says Finder at the top menu bar. Click Finder >> Preferences >> Unlick "External disks". I know, it annoyed me too.

Thank you! Worked beautifully.
After installing you should eject it. It has no use any longer after install.
DMG's on the task bar will "mount" if clicked so the drive "returns". Remove DMG file from task bar, it should not be there anyways.
I found that unchecking the "external disks" didn't help. I had dragged the icon from my desktop to my task bar instead of dragging the icon from applications folder to my task bar. The result was each time I clicked on the icon on the task bar it thought it was reinstalling the google chrome browser which was actually already installed. Drag any icons you want in your task bar from the applications folder to avoid this issue.
god bless you
