Hi folks,
I have a strange problem with my Windows XP machine (iBuyPower AMD Athlon
3200+, 1 GB RAM, with 2 physical drives (120 GB and 80 GB)running Windows XP
Professional) that I hope someone can help me straighten out. I am seeing
two removable drives being indicated in the My Computer display that simply
are not there and have never been there. Disk Management does not see these
two phantom drives at all but I am unable to reassign the drive letter on any
other physical drive to the two letters (E and F) used by the phantom drives.
I've checked in the BIOS setup for the motherboard and cannot see anything
strange, so I'm not sure where the system is picking up the information. It
really seems to slow the system down when we open the My Computer display
since it seems to be looking for those drives. Any help will be most
appreciated. Thanks!
