Hi, n.design.
Disk Management is the tool that we use (ever since Windows 2000) to manage hard disk partitions, optical drives, USB flash drives, cameras and card readers - and just about any other device that can be assigned a "drive" letter. If we don't specifically assign a letter to a new device, it will typically be assigned the next available letter at the time it is connected. Some devices, like a multi-slot card reader, may be assigned multiple letters for the multiple "drives". I'm not sure why your Vista thinks you have an extra drive. Run Disk Management and see what it tells you about each device in your system. There are several ways to start DM; my favorite is just to press Start, type "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter (then Maximize the window so I don't feel like I'm working through a keyhole). The other DM (Device Manager) may also hold some clues. If you tell us the make and model of your CD/DVD drive, someone might recognize it and know about its quirks. RC -- R. C.

This is done by certain thumb drive manufacturers. When plugged in, the
physical device enumerates two virtual devices: A virtual cdrom, and a storage drive. The virtual cdrom will cause autoplay to run whatever application the vendor wants to assist you in managing the content on your drive.

It's there because your flash drive came with software preinstalled,
probably for synchronising or backup purposes. It has a small partition set to look like a CD drive containing the software and an autorun.inf file. If you never use this software you can just reformat the flash drive and that should get rid of it. Otherwise just ignore it. Obviously, copy everything to your hard drive before reformatting, and back again afterwards, or you'll lose it. "n.design" wrote in message ... ok, then, thanks -- n.design |
