Don't try to get rid of them -- everyone can always use more drives.
Sorry, just couldn't resist. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif

In My Computer, right-click on G or H, then click Properties.
What happens?

In Device Manager, click the + in front of CDROM and Disk drives.
What does it show?
