A bit ago,I went to open my computer, and I noticed there were 6 removable drives on the list, when in fact there are 0. I have restarted,  and they are still there. I have also tried ejecting them, but WINDOWS tells me that they are in use. I'm running XP, any ideas?



ViperDo you have an HP SCANNER with a built in card reader? How are the drives listed?(I forgot to add the screenshot) 8-)


Additon: wow, during the upload of the last picture, two more showed up...No HP scanner, the only thing I have had plugged in was my iPod thismorning, at about 4:30, but I 'safely romoved hardware'Using daemon tools or anything like that?no, but I just got 8, low disk space warnings... Apparently they are all full now

heres the properties of one of themAnd you are sure you are free of malware? What happened just prior to this? How about a system restore to yesterday? Does that fix it?My system is clean, of spy/ad/mal-ware, and virii. The only thing prior to this that I did, was PUT iPod linux on my ipod, but I don't know how that would affect this, it just goes on along side the apple OS, and system restore has been off for a really long time, and it would probably wipe a bunch of stuff off my computer now, so thats not really a good option for me.What are you seeing in device manager?I'm not sure how, but it's fixed now.
However I did check in the device manager, and they were there, I tried to "disable device' but it wouldn't let me.

Thanks for your time though,
