:crazy:

Yep that's the sort of question we love here ... no details.

To set our readers straight the problem is CG installed a DVD drive to his system but has 2 show up in Explorer. One is the real drive and one is a ghost (that does not work).

He has tried to remove the DVD from windows mangler and the ghost drive using safe mode, only to find they are both back after a restart.

Anybody have any other Ideas?

You could try putting it on a different IDE channel? Shifting it to another free place on the secondary ribbon if possible - or visa versa.

I dont think thats the cause, but it could fix it

There is a setting which can be found in the registry which is used to describe which drive letters are visible and which are invisible. This can be used to hide drives for security reasons, and should work to hide the ghost drive. I'm not too sure without checking it out where in the registry this can be found...I'll check it out and try to be more help later. Try doing a internet search for what I've just beeen saying and you might turn something up

Go to "start", "programs", "accessories", "system tools", "computer management", "storage", "disk management" - you should have a window showing all your disks, including the ghost disk. Right-click it and click "delete partition". MAKE SURE IT IS DEFINITELY THE GHOST DISK before you delete. That should do it.

Pardon?
