Guest spinlock Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/delmountpoint.zip http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/deletedosdevice.zip Uwe
