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

[pneron]

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

Tick them on Prefs/Workbench/hidden devices

It's a left over .info file that has no home. use a shell to delete.

Thank you !

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.

A dir search should show it as a .info file with no real file associated with it. If not something is really wrong here.

@ OP this is the correct solution

or use

assign dismount drive:

in user-startup

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.

OK...will review these options everyone - thanks

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 ?

[QuikSanz]

There must be a gap between partitions or some part of the drive not labeled yet, strange.

Wow, that looks messy.  Out of curiosity, what happens if you drag them into BenchTrash?  

Here's where the option to hide stuff like that is hidden:

(pic attached)

...There's gotta be a better way to unmount them, however.  Are there any other devices listed on the previous screen in HDToolbox?

Also, it makes baby jesus cry that you used FFS instead of PFS or SFS. :lol:

[pneron]

That did the trick...Thanks Mike

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