I have searched Google and found nothing so I post here to see if anyone
can direct me on how to correct the appearance of my Firewire drive as Drive
I and J. Everything looks fine in Disk Management and Device Manager do I
have no idea what to do. This is only on one System so I am sure it is
something going on somewhere. This just started today. I have tried format
with no help. I can share one without the other being shared but if I copy
files to one it also shows up on the other. Is there some registry key I
have do delete?

Thanks.

So, when you attach the drive, I: and J: appear, and when
you remove it then both drive letters disappear?

If one letter stays, then it might be a subst drive.

Open a command prompt and enter

subst

If it shows one, then you can delete it:

subst j: /d


If it's not a subst drive, then enter

mountvol

You get a list of drive letter to storage volume assignments.

Are both, I: and J: listed? If yes, do they point to the same
volume?

If yes, then you can delete one:

mountvol j: /D

Hello Uwe and thank you for the help.

The drives listed does not show I drive but J and the rest of the real
drives are listed. Nothing to do that seems to help. Any ideas?

Thanks

I have to ask again:
What does Subst show?
When you attach the drive, I: and J: appear, and when you remove it then
both drive letters disappear?

What does this commandline tool show for I:?

I don't get anything when I enter Subst. I enter Mountvol and all the
drives that show in My Computer are shown here except I. Drive J shows but
I does not while in My Computer I and J still show as one drive.

I was trying to remember how to copy the Dos screen and paste the results
if you need to see exactly what is there.

Ok, Sorry for the confusion on my part.

I believe this happened when I attempted to share drive I: After that I had
a identical drive J: show up that is not shared.

ListDosDevices shows I: \Device\HarddiskVolume6.
J: drive shows the same. J: \Device\HarddiskVolume6

I am unable to view the USB drives in this manner. I try ListUsbDrives but I
get error report this will not run.

This just started today. I have tried format with no
help. I can share one without the other being shared but
if I copy files to one it also shows up on the other. Is
there some registry key I have do delete?
So, when you attach the drive, I: and J: appear, and when
you remove it then both drive letters disappear?

If one letter stays, then it might be a subst drive.

Open a command prompt and enter

subst

If it shows one, then you can delete it:

subst j: /d


If it's not a subst drive, then enter

mountvol

You get a list of drive letter to storage volume
assignments. Are both, I: and J: listed? If yes, do they
point to the
same volume?

If yes, then you can delete one:

mountvol j: /D

Hello Uwe and thank you for the help.

The drives listed does not show I drive but J and the
rest of the real drives are listed. Nothing to do that
seems to help. Any ideas?
I have to ask again:
What does Subst show?
When you attach the drive, I: and J: appear, and when you
remove it then both drive letters disappear?

What does this commandline tool show for I:?

I don't get anything when I enter Subst. I enter Mountvol
and all the drives that show in My Computer are shown here
except I. Drive J shows but I does not while in My Computer
I and J still show as one drive. I was trying to remember
how to copy the Dos screen and paste the
results if you need to see exactly what is there.

What about ListDosDevices?
Windows can not find 'ListDosDevices'.............?

From one of my previous postings in the thread:

remove it then both drive letters disappear?

http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/listdosdevices.zip
Your application shows drives from A to J with no B of coarse.
When I plug in the drive it shows as I and J. If I remember right
this happened after I: enabled share. Drive I shows share but not
J. When remove the drive both I and J disappear.
What do you mean with 'I: enabled share' and 'Drive x shows share'?
That's beyond my english - sorry.

What does ListUsbDrives show behind I: and J:?

Ok, Sorry for the confusion on my part.

I believe this happened when I attempted to share drive I: After
that I had a identical drive J: show up that is not shared.

ListDosDevices shows I: \Device\HarddiskVolume6.
J: drive shows the same. J: \Device\HarddiskVolume6

Funny. No idea how this can happen. Solution:
Start -> Run
regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices

Here you find items like \DosDevices\C:, \DosDevices\F:...

Just delete the item 'I' and reboot. I: should be gone now.


Uwe

That did it. Thank you very much Uwe.

Regards.
