Issues with two new drives

My old DVD-Rom and DVD-RW drives were going down the tubes so I bought new ones. The old ones were IDE drives, but with the new ones I went with SATA drives. I got them connected up, turned on the computer and now I get this.


I don't know how to go about fixing this.

Here's my device manager with the mystery 3rd drive again

 

Have you tried clicking on the mystery drive and see what info comes up in device manager? If it pops up normal, then you could try uninstalling the driver and rebooting, then see if it shows back up. Just a thought.

 

I uninstalled the driver and on a reboot it came back. And I still haven't had any luck getting my dvd-rom drive to be drive E and my dvd-rw drive to be drive F.

 

Try going to: Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management>Then your drive you want to change>Right Click and change drive letter

Thanks. That worked to change the drive numbers but I've tried uninstalling the driver for the mystery drive a couple times now but it always comes back on a reboot.

 

Before you replaced your old drives, did you have them hooked up to an IDE Controller Card (PCI Card) or does your MB have an onboard IDE Controller?

 

When I took out the old drives the IDE cable unplugged from the motherboard. Then I plugged the two SATA cables into the motherboard.

 

Let me do some more research for you.

 

Do you have Daemon Tool or another "phantom" drive for "hosting" ISO's on your puter? Do you have AnyDVD installed? Those would be my guesses for your "extra" drive.
