Access to a drive which no longer exists

[Pegasus \(MVP\)]

Hi ,

my coworker has the following problem :

He has 2 hard drives, one of 80GB and one of 40GB .
The 40GB hard drive was partitioned to 2 drives , each of them was 20GB .

Now , he repartitioned the old-partitioned 40GB drive , and now the 40GB
drive is not partitioned anymore. (He did the repartition as part of the
Windows XP integrated with SP2 installation).

Now , in Windows XP integrated with SP2 , he still sees one of the drives
from old-partitioning , in My Computer .

He gets the following error message from within My Computer :

"F:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect." (it's an error
messagebox.)

What does he need to do , in order to "hide" (actually hiding) the F drive
which no longer exists, from the drives list in My Computer ?

Thanks in advance ,
Lior .

Run diskmgmt.msc, then delete the drive letter(s) of the
unpartitioned disk.

On your own machine you should fix the clock or set the
correct time zone. You're several hours ahead of the rest
of the world.
