addajio
Xp/SP2/1-CD-Rom read only drive.
This computer has never had a second drive and hardly gets used except for
older games. I have used patchs/mods/add ons from time to time.
Device manager shows 1 drive and says it is working properly.
I tried to run Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 which ran fine some months ago and
has Starforce copy protection. I have since restored this hard drive from a
Macrium Image and didn't try to run the game til today. This is the original
box game with manuals and Disk Key. A window complained "No disk found" so I
un-installed/re-installed from the E drive...same thing. Upon looking in
Windows Explorer in the tree to the left, I noticed an "E" drive and a new
"F" drive
Both drives show the contents of the game disk and both [right click on
drive and click on eject command]will Eject the CD if told to, so I know that
the F drive is some sort of virtual or image drive of the E drive, but I can
find no way to remove it. This F drive must somehow be interferring with the
E drive so I have to remove it.
Thanks for any suggestions - Tony.
