Tried to uninstall the the device but when i reboot it gets detected and installed again.. anyone encounter this problem ? How do i get rid of this extra drive which i dont even have? thanks

What's your ATA controller and what drivers are installed?

i'm using the intel 82801eb ultra ata storage controllers but i'm not using any pata drives.. the only drives i have are 2 sata seagate drives which are set on a raid 0 mode.

did you ever have that scsi card in there, with that drive, because if you did, make sure you took it out of the bios. idk if that'd cause what u'r experiencing in windows...but who knows (i've heard wierder stuff)

I'm not familiar with this chipset, but I might suspect that you have SCSI miniport drivers installed for the ATA controller. This would make the drive appear as a SCSI device, when it is not.

Windows is not properly identifying the device. This may or may not have anything to do with the drivers. Can you see the device in another tool, such as Aida32 or your burning software?

i face same prob. It happened after I added 2nd SATA drive: Maxtor 6Y160M0 160GB

1st SATA drive: Maxtor 6Y120M0
2nd SATA drive: Maxtor 6Y160M0
1st PATA drive: Maxtor 6Y120L0
2nd PATA drive: Maxtor 6Y040L0
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 (installed on 1st SATA)
MB: Intel 865PERL
CPU: 3GHz
RAM: 2GB
BIOS: Intel Corp. RL86510A.86A.0085.P19.0406281350, 6/28/2004

Device is visible in Ahead Nero 6. I never installed or had any SCSI device and neither did anything related to SCSI in BIOS.

Some ATA Raid controllers are listed as SCSI, I know my HighPoint is

I do not have any RAID controller and do not have any software RAID setup.
The problem wasn't there when I installed 1st SATA. It came after the 2nd. Furthermore, it got all valid behaviors like regular cdrom except the eject as the drive do not exist.

I suspect that it is not being properly detected in the bios. Go into the bios setup and see if it sees the drive properly.

BIOS sees my existing drives properly and precisely. The imaginary cdrom exist only in windows.
