When I open "my computer", I see a partition labeled E. The total size is

blank. The free space is blank. I tryed to access E but the message "E is not

accessable' appeared.

 

I am certain that E does not actually exist so I would like to delete it. I

tryed deleting various drivers in the Device Manager window but that did not

solve the problem. How can I delete partition E?

C:\Windows\command\FDISK.

(We assume you have no USB drive or device connected at boot.)

If FDISK does not show drive E: suspect a virus or malware.

Drive E: might be a removable drive like an optical drive (CD or DVD),

flash drive, digital camera or external USB hard drive.

The problem comes up now/then at this site.

 

(1) "START button, Find, F/F, Autorun.inf".

I guess one of those can do it, if in a root directory, such as

"C:\" or "D:\".

 

(2) Some drivers can do it, purposely. Did you install something big

lately?

 

(3) "START button, Run, SysEdit". Is there a "SUBST" command in

Autoexec.bat? That would do it.

 

(4) Did you create a CVF (Compressed Volume File)? That would do it.

 

(5) "START button, Run, MSInfo32". Use CTRL-Mouse to highlight relevant

info & the Edit menu to Copy it...

RE: Partition E

 

b11_, since you are unsure that NTFS partitions work in the NT source code

while FAT partitions are the 9x source code and previously DOS then I suggest

you consult an IT Professional. Have a nice day.

Re: Partition E

 

In order to fix the corruption, you need to find out what the corruption is.

For instance, you need to determine whether or not FDISK sees that

partition. Boot to DOS and at the command prompt type FDISK /STATUS and

report the results.

 

Open Device Manager and look for something that might be reporting to the

operating system that it needs a drive letter assigned, such as CD or DVD

drive.

 

You also need to describe when this partition first appeared and what

happened immediately before it appeared, such as what changed in the

machine, or what software you installed or what upgrade you did.

Re: Partition E

 

I booted a different partition and looked in the My Computer window but did

not see it. I believe that there is some curruption. Would restoreing an old

registry solve the problem?

I agree with Richards that further investigation must be first! Post the

results I have asked for, & "START button, Run, SysEdit" to post both

Autoexec.bat & Config.sys for examination.

Re: Partition E

 

It's not possible to know what would solve the problem without knowing what

the problem is.

 

What result did you get when you booted to DOS and used FDISK /Status?

What was the result of looking in device manager for devices that might be

using a drive letter?

What have you found out about changes that were made just before the new

partition appeared?

It would be helpful to know the operating system involved.

Partition specifications are stored on the hard drive itself and are

not dependent on the operating system in use at any particular time

for their existence. As mentioned by other posters, use a partitioning

utility like fdisk to diagnose the problem.

I'd do the same thing in a DOS window. Some devices, eg USB/Firewire

HDs and flash drives, may not be detected by the BIOS and/or DOS.

Re: Partition E

 

A difference between the two results (DOS boot vs DOS window) would suggest

a source for the drive letter such as you have referred to. But I think the

issue is getting OP to follow any logical diagnostic procedure. He wants

answers, not suggestions for more research.

Re: Partition E

 

The problem with your posts b11_ is that it is very difficult to understand

you. You state a problem and then post back and do not seem to be willing or

perhaps able to follow advice from posters such as Jeff Richards, MVP. We

have tried to help you with your computer problems but I feel at least that

it is now high time for you to try and help yourself by working with an IT

professional, studying up on computers, and doing things to help yourself

present a logical thought process and being able to post back the results of

suggestions from people like Jeff Richards who asked you to do a task. I

know a lot about computers mainly through reading some computer books and

lots of trial and error with computers throughout the years starting with

programming in BASIC (easy programs such as making sounds and having the

screen flash different colors --- lots of fun when I was really young) on my

IBM PCjr to my current dual-boot 98SE/XP Professional computer but now I want

formal training with A+ Certification to help me reach a new and higher

level. I am studying All-In-One A+ Certification Exam Guide in the 5th

edition that was requested by my school although they apparently already have

a newer 6th edition. It may be simple for one of us to accomplish the tasks

that MVP's ask us to do but perhaps it is beyond your level of expertise in

which case it would make sense to try and read books and learn from other IT

professionals to help you in your case. I feel sympathy towards you and your

situation(s) with computers but I cannot help you much as I would like to if

you cannot help yourself by learning more from books, IT Professionals and by

listening to advice from other users who respond to you especially when it is

such good advice from people like Jeff Ricards. I will now have to limit my

replies to you in the future until such time as I notice that you are willing

to change. Ben, I did reply to your post but this post is directed to b11_

and not you of course. Sorry about the user error on my part. Have a nice

day, b11_!

I read the treatise you posted to Richards by mistake. I agree with all

Re: Partition E
