i changed one harddrive from mainboard a to b with all the necessary adjustments. then i connected a second harddrive as slave instead of cd-rom. on second channel is still cd-burner. although i tried deleting in devicemanager , disconnected the cd-burner-cable and started again(as suggested in this forum) i cannot get rid of the additional 7 drives. i have nero imagedrive too as an additional virtual drive. on my other harddisks on same board and cd-drives i do not have nero imagedrive and do not have this problem.
this problem is new. earlier everything was fine.
no other problems.

Ghost drives can be a real pain.

From device manager, remove all drives, and drive (IDE) controllers.

Re-boot, and let Windows find the controlers and install the drivers.
Makwe sure that you have the latest IDE driver for the motherboard on the drive and unzipped.

That should take care of things.

Try to uninstall nero imagedrive. It installed two logical drives on my friend's system and caused a lot of problems.

i have tried- before that incident- the ali-ide-driver instead of the one from windows with a lot of troubles.
i am sure that deleting nero driveimage and the ide-controllers will solve the problem together with disconnecting the drives/cables of secondary drive.
