After instlling a new HD and copying the files using the WD software I found
I had additional phantom drives. C, D, (E & F CD's) G and H
I reconfigured the system to just the new drive as master, renamed it to C
in regedit and then deleted the H drive (which was the old slave).
Now I have C, D and G hard drives, all of which seem to be identical.
I tried to remove the D and G drives in regedit but the system locked and I
had to reinstall / repair WinXP.
Worse, the system now seems to prefer the G version such that new drivers
are located on that drive.
When I looked at the WD HD driver it is located on the G drive. I tried to
change it to the "identical" drivers on the C drive but it refused!
What is going on here?
