Hot to get rid of non-dos ghost drives on main window

Or go to HDToolbox and edit the partition(s) you want to hide and unselect 'Automount this partition' for each one. They can then be mounted in a shell with the mount command at your will. When you want them to automatically mount again you can go back into HDToolbox to reverse the changes.

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 ?

Unpartitioned areas of the drive will not show up as anything on Workbench. Only mounted partitions will appear on Workbench. Your NDOS? partitions must be ones without filesystems (correctly) installed, or they need formatting.

In the photo, the checkbox for 'Automatically mount this partition' is behind the Change button. So for each partition you'd want to hide you'd select the partition, then press the Change button, then untick the aforementioned checkbox.

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

Your photo, a bit above the Cancel button.

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

Make sure that when you select the partition with the mouse from the graph that you don't move the partition around as that would move the partition start and end points causing data loss of that partition (if settings then saved). Press Cancel and go into it again if this happens. This shouldn't happen though as there should be no gaps if partitioned correctly (no wasted space) thus no possibility of movement on the graph. There may be a shortcut key to select different partitons like TAB or something.
