Re: False cd drives
I have not installed anything that made new drive letters of late, I did use a card reader 8 in one that put 4 drive letters on but they left when I unplugged it. Today I decided to try to find out more about it and found that in disk management the false drive do not appear however they do show up in My computer. Also I use an external drive to store my personal data on it is normally drive H but it is now J the letters H and I are used by the false drives, I installed and ran microsoft powertoys and when I went to the drive section it listed all of the drive letters as active but the ones that are not real had a red ? by them (attached screenshot) If I uncheck the two wrong letters they no longer show up in explorer or my computer but I can not use those letters to rename the other drives. I will remove both of the DVD drives in device manager and post back tonight. I have unchecked all letters that are not in use by a real drive if I check the H and I they will get the red ? and the false drive will show up again.
