I recently tried installing my Hard Drive (and other hardware)in a barebones system, that didn't work out. I had too many conflicts. So I decided to put everything back in my old system. The problem I'm having now is I've have my 40gig Quantum divided into 3 partions (even prior to changing systems) C,D & E, but now it's coming out with an "F" drive letter and it's a clone of the "C" drive!!! (I know what your saying... WHAT?) Anyways, I've checked for an "F" drive on the DOS prompt, but that tells me there is no such drive. When I boot up in safe mode the "F" drive does not show up. I've tried pulling all my drives out, booting up, and it's still there. How do I get rid of this "phantom drive"???

PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank You.
