R31 and R30 phantom drives

#1 Post by r2d2 » Sun Oct 19, 2008 4:32 pm

Hi,

I just noticed that I have phantom drives. I noticed I have DVD/CDRW drive but I also see another CD drive in My Computer. I noticed this after I tested a CDRW drive of a friend. After rebooting, the icon for this drive in My Computer remained.

Sometimes I see a floppy drive too but I have not installed any floppy drives recently.

I do not know what to do to remove this or how NOT to make this happen. Is this a driver issue or bios issue?

Thanks for all the help.

Rosh

EDIT:

Somehow I know where I got the phantom CD drive in the R31. I got it when I installed Ultraiso. My only problem now is the phantom floppy drive in R30.
Best Regards,
Rosh
