Deleting Removable Disks

After a lot of hassle and a lot of help from the wonderful people of this forum I have now reinstalled my o/s and got rid of the old one.

My question now is that I have noticed that there are three removable disks sat on my computer. they all say that are full but the size is 0. Theey are not usb sticks and when I use my cd bits I get another two drives appears as they should. There dosent seem to be a right click option delete.

Any ideas peeps

    Sorry haven't got back to you.

    It's unusual, they sound like they're virtual drives for some reason and I've got no idea why they are there from a fresh install. Only thing I can think of is you need the latest drivers for your motherboard and hopefully that'll clear up these "inconsistencies" and also clear the warning triangles in the device drivers you may have. As for where to get the drivers that depends on the make and model of the motherboard. Belarc or Everest are good apps to determine the hardware on your system.

    Sounds like you have a card reader with various slots, just ignore these "removable disks" that are empty.
