"Extra" Drive in explorer
Homebuilt machine.... ASUS P4C800E delux Mobo, P4/3.2 ghz proc, 512mb ram.
Removed my older lite-on 16x dvdROM and upgraded it to a Lite-on 8X DVD+-RW DL burner. Fired it back up. My origonal CDRW is visible, so is the new DVDRW, however there is an extra drive labeled simply DVD drive in explorer, from device manager it calls itselfe a scsi device, removed device from device manager, rebooted, still there. Kind of screws things up when i turn my printer on and my printers card reader gets bumped to G now instead of F (when F shouldn't be there to begin with UNLESS the printer is on!). Drive configuration: WD120GBSATA on SATA chanel 1 (C). CDRW Primary Master (D), DVDRW Seconday Master (E) (NO slaves on this sytem, makes for speedy drive to drive copies!!). Cardreader used to go to "F" when printer was on, now goes to "G" after replacing the drive. NO SCSI DEVICES INSTALLED, nor is there a scsi adapter. Ideas on what may be going on here??? |

Addendum to first post. Situation has become more unusual. When ejecting
a disk from teh DVDRW drive, and then reinserting another, the old drive lable and volume number remain, however directory structure is appropriate to new disk. Causes ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS when trying to install software, then it can't find itself cus the labels don't match, occasional "please insert volume number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" errors out of the blue. REally would rather get rid of that friggen virtual drive letter somehow, thinking it may resolve the eject but remain issues..... Any ideas?

You had said that you REMOVED it from device manager and it, naturally, got reinstalled. I said disable, not remove, it. But if it's being re-enabled then it's definitely part of a software package that's checking and insisting it be there. |
