Virtual Drives

Hey guys, previously i had downloaded Daemon Tools and uninstalled it, and also Virtual Clone Drive and uninstalled that one too, however the virtual drives still remain.
I have my physical DVD-ROM drive: D:\
Then i have the two virtual drives: F:\(DVD Drive) and H:\(Removable Disk)

I'm actually not sure about the H:\ as to whether or not that on is virtual, but i'm positive the F: is a virtual one.

So the question is, how would i permanently remove these virtual drives?
Again, i have already uninstalled the software that created the virtual drives.

 

From my archived files I can offer you the following, which I last used successfully several years ago to uninstall Daemon Tools. It may also work for Virtual Clone Drive.

Uninstalling Daemon Tools/Alcohol

1. Open device manager (SCSI/RAID Controllers section) and delete SCSI controller with name corresponding with name of Daemon driver (in Alcohol it’s A347SCSI)
(miniport driver name). If you have problems doing it (e.g. system crashes) then start from step 3 (skip steps 1 and 2).

2. Open device manager (System devices section) and delete device with driver corresponding with Daemon driver (bus driver name). In current versions of Daemon Tools it is 'PnP BIOS Extension' but most likely it may change in next versions. Again, if you have some problems doing it, skip this step

3. Find Daemon driver files in Windows\System32\Drivers folder
(in Win95/98/ME also check Windows\System\IOSUBSYS folder).
Make sure your system is configured to display system files (ControlPanel->Tools->FolderOptions->View) in order you can see them. Delete Daemon driver files.
default v3.46 driver file names are d346bus.sys and d346prt.sys
default v3.47 driver file names are d347bus.sys and d347prt.sys (in Alcohol it’s A347bus.sy and A347scsi.sys)

4. In WinNT/2000/XP/2003 open registry editor and check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services for entries with same names as Daemon driver files. Delete these keys.

5. Reboot your system. If you executed steps 1 and 2 then you don't need to do anything anymore. Otherwise proceed to next step.

6. Go to device manager - you may see some device with yellow mark.
This is most likely Daemon device which cannot start because it's drivers are deleted. Delete this device from Device Manager.

The same procedure may be used also for complete removal of Alcohol drivers from system.

 

Thanks for that.
I looked in device manager and got rid of too weird looking drivers, one of them was just called "Disk Drive" which i removed and got rid of the H:, and one other was pretty much a bunch of random letters with CDrom driver at the end.
Removing that got rid of the F:

However i did remove one other driver, which i'm not sure whether it was important or not, and i hope it doesn't cause problems, it was in the Storage Devices it was A9N...something, it was just letters, i removed it because the H: was appearing as a Removable Storage Device... pretty stupid by me, but oh well, i hope my computer doesn't blow up now.

I also couldn't find any of the registry keys or the drivers in the System32 folder.

 

I restarted the computer and the drives are back.
The F: is called OX8908V CRL142F SCSI CdRom Device and is under DVD/CD-ROM devices
The H: is called Multi Flash Reader USB Device and is under Disk Drives

Also the other driver i deleted in Storage Controllers is back and is now called:
AX8MYKBF IDE Controller

So I now really have no clue what to do, as i couldn't find the registry keys or the drivers in the System32 folder, well, the ones you named in your post, at least. They may be under different names but i'm not sure where to start looking.

 

They would automatically reappear if they are physical devices so in both cases it looks as if you may have deleted drivers for physical drives. H I can understand as that is your card reader - I meant to tell you before to leave that alone but it was late and I just forgot. F is a bit of a mystery as that does seem to be a virtual drive. If you right click it in Explorer do you get a Mount option?

 

There is no option to mount when i right click it, unfortunately ):
