I recently installed Windows XP Pro on my new Shuttle XPC. In "My Computer" it shows "Removable Disk(C: )" and "Removable Disk (D: )"
I don't have these disks. Why does it show these disks? How do I get rid of them?
Thanks

I figured it out. The letters are for the card readers 2 slots. I think I will reinstall XP with the reader unpluged and plug it in afterwards.
XP also assigned my optical drive as E and my local hard disk as F. If I reinstall XP without the card reader plugged in (now C & D) will it still assign my optical drive a letter before the hard drive (Optical C and hard drive D)? If so, how would I get it to see the hard drive as C?
It's an SATA drive and the Optical is on the closest connection to the power supply (if this matters).
Thanks again

Don't reinstall. Go to Control Panel, Admin Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management.
Right-click on the one of the card reader drives and select "Drive Letter and Paths". Change it to something like J: to give yourself some elbow room. Repeat for the other card drive. Repeat for your hard drive and change it to C:, put the optical on D:, and move the card drives to E: and F:.
