Hi guys. New guy here.
This is what Windows Explorer and Disk Management show.
Drives G, H, I, and L are completely non-existent. When clicking on them, Windows asks to format them. Properties shows 0 bytes Used space/Free space. I need help removing these "drives" from Windows Explorer.

Thanks for the tip. That was one of the first things I did. Also, I don't have a card reader.
Anyway, I resolved the issue by removing a registry entry that enabled the drives to be formatted in REFS. I did this a week ago and completely forgot about it :think:
