Duplicate hard drive entries

[Jason B]

I just removed an old SCSI CD burner, and installed a new
IDE DVD burner. Rebooted, and the drive was identified,
and seemed to be working ok. Then I noticed that I have
extra drives showing up in windows.

I have 3 SCSI hard drives, all 18GB. After installing
this drive, I have 3 duplicates, same capacity, used
space, and volume labels. For example, drive C:, 18GB.
Also listed is drive G:, 18GB, same label as C:. Changing
files on one doesn't seem to affect the files on the
other.

Also, every time I reboot, it runs scandisk on all the
drives. Disk manager only shows 3 physical drives
attached, and there aren't any problems I can see in the
device manager.

So XP is showing me 6 hard drives now, and a 7th that's
not anything I can identify (says it's unformatted, RAW,
not assoicated with any hardware)

Any idea what's wrong? Hopefully something that won't
require a complete reinstall?
