Sounds like you have some sort of a memory card reader built in to your computer. That's what those 4 drives F-I are showing. They are always going to be there unless you unplug the card reader. You probably just want to live with those.

Knowing this, I now changed the new drive where I keep the 1 gig USB Flash from the 'J" that the computer gave it, to 'A' ... I'm doing this since I don't have a floppy drive and this 'flash' acts just like a floppy. Also, since 'My Computer' always opens to Explore (double paned window), it's easier to get to the 'A' (alphabetically speaking) So now I have an 'A' (the flash drive where I have everything backed up and can edit when necessary), a 'C' which is the hard drive, a 'D' partition which Compaq uses for Recovery purposes, an 'E' which is the CD drive, and four other lines listed, 'Removable Disks (F:) through 'Removable Disk (I:)'. Does anyone know how to remove those extra four lines from the list? And if they are needed, what are they used for? --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
