Hot to get rid of non-dos ghost drives on main window
« on: January 02, 2017, 08:05:33 PM »
I have installed/partitioned some new drives during my 3.9 upgrade.
I also have a few residual "non-dos drives" that I cannot use due to size of new drive partitions. Is there anyway of getting rid of these drives on main screen...hiding them is fine for now.

Thanks

I cannot see these drives from a Shell. They only appear on my WB screen at boot-up and the only thing I can do (unsuccessfully) is to try and format them - which prompts me with "Non-DOS" error (the icons on my WB screen state them as "unreadable")  These are unused space areas from my format drive.

I do not "see" any of these options to del or remove the drives.

I have attached a screen shot HDToolbox. As per previous messages, I formatted a 300Gig drive into 7 active partitions. The "Ghost" drives I suspect have to do with perhaps "non-dos" areas of the drive ?

BTW: What version of WB is that "Ghostbuster"?

In the photo, the checkbox for 'Automatically mount this partition' is behind the Change button

Thank Paul but are you referring to my photo or Mike's because I do not see that option on the HDTool?

Thank you Paul, I will review tonight when I get home from work.

Also, to Kolla's question: As per previous thread, I partitioned a 300Gig drive into a number drives (I have a lot of Audio files and need the space). It was suggested that I needed to use the advance feature and manually enter cylinder numbers into the input fields. I calculated what that was and entered the value.

yep ...did a bunch of these test/activities when I set up the drives. I even ran Studio16/B&P off all the drives to test the "integrity" of the drives
