Virtual Drives problem

[AzNsMaRtGuY333]

i have 5 extra virtual drives. i have D(DVD-Rom) and E(CD-Burner). F, G, H, I, J are the extra virtual drives. i tried to uninstall it by going to the drive properties and hardware, but the drives come back after i restart.

i use daemon tools and the virtual drives are K and L

why do i have F,G,H,I,J ???

go into device manager and try seeing if they're listed in there somewhere. :unsure:

Have you tried uninstalling Daemon Tools?

That is Windows 2000 ;-)

Anyways what you want to do is remove the "host" device of the CD-roms. It will be most likely be listed as a SCSI/RAID controller. Try viewing devices by connection.

Take a look.

virtual = software ;)

anyway,

if you wanna get rid of those drives, just set the amount of drives to 0 in deamon tools.......

and the drives come back cause on reboot daemontools restarts again (you prolly set it to run @ boot)

i uninstalled daemon tools

i uninstalled that controller because when i clicked on properties that was the only one that said generic. The other two said the provider was from microsoft.
look at the time on the bottom. 5:30 PM

it is now 5:40. after uninstall i rebooted and the drives came back, so did the controller i uninstalled 10 minutes ago.

I also circled the compact disk I,J,F,G,H. They are the virt drives that im trying to get rid of.

Try removing them in safe mode maybe?

Can I just point out that Virtual drives are software, this section is for hardware? :whistling

Moving...

Try this... re-install Daemontools, set the number of virtual drives to zero, reboot and uninstall Daemontools again.

I beleve it is safe to remove all those in the picture.

Off topic: Can you share your desktop backround?

I had a similar problem with alcohol and I found a download on there site that removed leftover virtual drives so check to see deamon tools has the same, I don't think they use up any drive space anyway so you could dload powertoys xp for free and untick the drive letters, they will still be there but not show on your pc.

Yes, do not go into device manager and uninstall them, This will not work. You just must reduce the number of virtual drives, or uninstall daemon tools.
