thelomographer · 10-21-2007, 09:23 AM

hiya everyone, got a Aspire 5633WLMI that now in My Computer is recognising 2 dvd/cd-rom drives, one labelled E:DVD-RAM Drive and the other F:DVD Drive. plus, when i click on the properties 3 drives are there
1) Hitachi HTS541212H9AT00 disk drive
2)HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T10N dvd/cd-rom drives
3) ROXIO DVD-ROM EMULATOR SCSI CdRom device
i did have roxio easy media creator 9 but have uninstalled it. when i try and remove the roxio drive, though i dont know if that'll help, but nothing happens, it wont be deleted.
before uninstalling roxio and it was also a bit hit or miss if it'd burn a film using disc copier, thought it was the disc but now.....
Please Help!!

ROXIO DVD-ROM EMULATOR SCSI CdRom device

this is your hard drive
