    Ok My brand new computer started up having five drives listed in the devices with removable storage section of "my computer" after a few days of use I now find only three drives in this section.
    floppy A:
    DVD/CD-RW drive D:
    and DVD RAM drive E:

    the other two i don't remember what they were called but i remember one was drive F:

    I have a mini card and floppy reader that takes floppys in one slot, CF and MD cards in another slot, and MS, SD/mmc and SM cards a third. so I figured that the three non disk drives were for each of the three slots. but now two of the three non-disk drives are gone.
    what happened?
    where did they go?
    and how can i get them back?

    Usually a removeable drive will disappear from the list when you have rebooted having previously taken out the drive. Just re-insert the removeable drive and it will re-appear as the next available drive letter (F: for instance)
