DO u have a RAM drive or even a program what makes a vitural drive?

What operating system? Tweakui can hide false drive icons. You can download it from the evil empire.

I had this problem when I upgraded my 16x CDRW to a 48x drive. Have you swapped a drive lately? I dont have a solution I am just hoping to bring out some more info.

I reinstalled windows.

EDIT: did you partition your HD in a weird way?

had drives installed on old board just switched boards installed 4-1,mainboard drivers and cmedia.

I just had the very same problem.....if you right-click on it and check it's properties, you'll find out what it is....

My extra CD-ROM drive was created by Nero as a SCSI CD-ROM device.....to remove, select "Do not use this device".....
