That is probably true. I just installed a computer for a client that
had the readers built in. There were 4 additional drives showing in My
computer. As it didn't matter to her as to what drives they were, I
left them as is and showed her how to use them as is.

Sounds like you have some sort of a memory card reader built in to your

going to be there unless you unplug the card reader. You probably just want
to live with those.

Subject: PCWorks: Drive letters in Windows XP
Hello again,
<snip> "Right click on My Computer and choose 'Manage'. When the management
console comes up, go to disk management and see if the new drive is there
what it's status is. You can format from there or partition or change the
drive letter." <snip>.--- Ben Moore
Thank you, Ben. I was wondering how to change drive letters on this XP.
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
