Mystery drive??

[PaulS1950]

I have somehow gotten a "Drive H" on my computer that is supposedly a removable media drive.

I want to get rid of it but I have tried everything I know (not much) and it still hangs on.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Do you by any chance have a USB pen drive connected to your computer?

Or a printer which provides a slot for memory cards, or anything like that. I know when I plug in my printer I get a bunch of removable drives -- one for each memory card slot.

I do have a printer (Kodak that uses an internal flash drive) and my wife disconnected it to connect it to her laptop to update the drivers. I just found out about this - didn't have this information when I posted earlier.

I think that is where it came from. My computer lists the kodak as a different drive now - leaving drive H as a phantom.

 

I have tried twice to remove it (delete) with regedit and it keeps coming back.

 

Any ideas how to remove it?

Check out your disk management tab in computer management (start>run>compmgmt.msc), should have some more information regarding drive H. if Drive H is inaccessible and really was just that printer, you should be able to delete it from there as well, right clicking the drive will bring up the options
