    Networked CD crive is confusing me
    Running XP

    This computer had a mapped CDROM drive which was mapped as D:.
    After intalling a new CDROM drive I noticed that it windows did not add a new drive but instead the Mapped drive is acctually the drive inside the computer.
    Renaming the mapped drive to E: gives me a Normal CDROM drive named E: but the Mapped drive remains as D: giving me 2 CDROM drives that are actually the same drive, one claiming to be a mapped network drive. When trying to remove the Networked drive it tells me "The network connection could not be found."
    I have no clue wh this is happening and was hoping someone could give me some insight. It's very annoying as I would like to have that mapped drive go away. Hopefully someone can help, thanks!
    I have tried net use D: /delete as well.

    How did you get a mapping to a local drive in the first place? Have you tried looking in your Network Places and see if you can delete it from there?
