System drive(C:) also mapped as J: ?!?!?!?!

[Guest spinlock]

From Explorer, I see a second instance of the system drive as J:. This does

not appear on Drive Management screen, only C: associated wuth system drive

there.

 

Everytime I boot, XPSP3 claims something wrong with J:, it runs chkdsk and

allegedly fixes a bunch of stuff, then it claims something wrong with C:,

runs chkdsk and fixes a bunch of stuff.

 

2 Events are logged, one for each(C:, J:), claiming that they are corrupt

and that chkdsk should be run. This happens over and over.

 

What the F is J:? How/where do I get rid of it?

 

Everything works OK, but having this J: and having "corrupt" NTFS drives is

nerve wraking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried fsutil volume dismount J: , but this didn't work.

Ok, you are obviousely bold enough to remove the

J: mountpoint :-)

Maybe fsutil sees J: as system drive, so it rejected

the request.

My tools have no such scruples.

 

First try DelMountpoint and then DeleteDosDevice:

This is a work PC, so I want to backup and migrate to new workstation that

this bug allowed me to justify!!! :>

 

I will try your tools by end of weekend.

 

thanks!
