I did this: first I deleted all the virtual disks "My Computer" -> devices ->

In the window that appears, leave everything as default and click “OK” (In my example disk being created has number 6, it may be different for you). The main thing is to understand the principle of operation of virtual drives.

Of course, your friend is right, I also use such a disc, its format will be VHD, - write journalists who recommend Charlatans, scammers, deceivers. At this time, it can be argued that the invisible confrontation has been won by the Daemon Tools (DT) emulation application. Although Deamon Tools (also known by the acronym D-tools) is more commonly used to perform emulation functions, it does not support creating images (i.e. copying a disk to a computer). Everything seems to be clear. If the window does not appear, double-click on the virtual drive on which the disk is mounted. Select "Virtual drives", then the desired drive and "Delete drive".

There are several advantages to having this socket. I did this: first I deleted all the virtual disks "My Computer" -> devices ->, then I disabled the driver in the SCSI controller.

Also if you created a virtual disk using the Alcohol 120% program, you can open it, go to the “Properties” menu, and then select “Settings”. In our case it is DT. But, as a rule, after a reboot, the drive appears again. Left-click on the "Administration" component. To save free disk space, it can also be completely removed.

Answered by Syra: Install Alcohol, remove the drive through the options and remove Alcohol. That's all. The next step is to assign a drive letter.

So, how to create a virtual HDD for Windows 7?

When you no longer need it, go to Computer Management by clicking right click mouse on Computer, then select Manage.

ISO file necessary write to optical disk or USB flash drive. Right-click the properties of the “My Computer” desktop icon. Next, on the left, select the link to “Device Manager”.

Now open the browser, and if you have Chrome, then simply write in search bar the word "localhost" of course without quotes, and if IE, then click on address bar, it turns blue. You can not put anything and just press "Enter". To do this, click on the “Actions” tab and in the drop-down list, select the command that is shown in the figure below. It's that simple.

But you can go in a less radical way.

However complete removal virtual disk from the system is sometimes unwanted.

A virtual drive can be created very easily. However, there may come a time when separation no longer makes sense. Remove correctly new section– the task is less trivial. But many users may be put off by this task due to its apparent complexity. How to do this simply and quickly will be discussed in this article.

Methods for uninstalling a virtual disk

The drive could be created by you in two ways: special utility from Windows, which is called "Disk Management" or using the command line. Depending on what was used previously, you need to choose one of the presented methods. At first glance, the procedures may seem complicated, but in practice everything is much easier.

Method One: Disk Management

If the partition was created using the specified utility, then you need to use this method. It is the easiest to perform and does not require any additional knowledge.

Important! Be sure to transfer all important information from the virtual disk that you want to delete, or make a backup for emergency recovery. All information previously created on it is stored in the image of this drive. After deleting a partition, all data written to it will be lost along with it. Remember this!

If you heeded the warning, then you can begin. Below is a detailed action plan:

Second method with command line

But additional section could have been created using the command line, which is much less common. For this case, you need to use the second method. It is also described in detail below. Preparation for the procedure also involves transferring important information to another drive. After this, you can follow the plan, which consists of a small number of steps, and they are quite simple to follow.

Using one of the methods presented in the article, you can delete unnecessary virtual disks without any outside help. These methods are very simple, but they will be sufficient to complete the task. However, it is important to understand that physical sections of hard disk these solutions are not able to be removed. Options for solving this problem were described earlier in another lesson.

Instructions

If for mounting virtual disks was used Daemon program Tools Lite, open this application. This can be done from the main OS menu - a folder with this name and a link to launch the emulator is placed in the “All programs” section. If the Daemon Tools settings are set to launch when the system boots, then you can open it from the tray - double-click the corresponding icon in the notification area of ​​the taskbar.

The application window is divided into three horizontal frames. The bottom one contains shortcuts for all virtual drives created by this program. To disable each of them, right-click on the shortcut and context menu select "Remove drive". Having completed this operation with each of the drives, close the application window.

When using free version Alcohol 52% emulator, the application window can also be opened double click by tray icon. If it is not there, then look for a link to launch the program in the “All programs” section of the main OS menu; it should be in a folder with the same name - Alcohol 52%.

In the left column of the main window of the emulator, click on the inscription “Virtual disk” in the “Settings” section. As a result, it will open separate window settings, in the right frame of which next to the inscription “Number of virtual disks” there is a drop-down list with numbers from zero to six. Select a zero value and click OK. After this, the application window can be closed.

Another common program for creating virtual drives is UltraISO. To disable those created by this emulator drives launch the application, expand the “Options” section in the menu and select the “Settings” line.

The settings window of this program has seven tabs, among which there is “Virtual Drive” - select it. In the "Number of Devices" drop-down list, set the value to "None" and click OK. Then close the UltraISO window and the procedure will be completed.

• Disconnecting a virtual disk

Now there are probably few PC users who have not had to deal with programs that create virtual images disks. For example, most video games downloaded from the Internet come in an image file format. To install such a game, you need to create a virtual disk. And a problem may arise when, after removing the program with which this disk was created, the virtual drive itself is not deleted. Also, after installing some games, virtual disks are created automatically, and after they are removed, they are not deleted.

You will need

• computer with Windows OS.

Instructions

The first method, which will be considered, is suitable if, after uninstalling the Daemon tools or Alcohol programs, you still have virtual disks in the system, and you want to remove them from there. So, click “Start” and go to “Control Panel”. Find the “Administration” component and left-click on it. In the window that opens, find the “Computer Management” component. In the new window, click on the “Device Manager” component.

A new window will appear containing a list of all devices connected to the computer. In this window, find the line “DVD/CD disks odes." There is an arrow opposite the line. Click on it with the left mouse button, after which a list of all drives (both physical and virtual) that are on this will open.

Very often, PC users ask on forums the question of how to remove a virtual disk or disable it. Virtual disks do not appear in the system just like that. Therefore, it follows that utilities were installed on the computer to emulate a DVD drive or the command “ Subst" From this material, our readers will learn how to get rid of virtual disks in Windows operating systems once and for all.

Disabling virtual disks using DVD drive emulators

You can connect the virtual disk back in exactly the same way. The difference is that in the “Driver” tab, instead of disabling, you need to select “Enable”.

There are many images on the Internet various programs and games that we can download and mount on a virtual drive. Indeed, it is easy and simpler than going, for example, to a store and buying CDs. Now many will say: “Are there still people who buy CDs now?” I personally don’t care and I don’t judge people who buy CDs, it’s their right. But the matter is different now. You mounted everything you need on a virtual drive, installed it, and then this same drive did not disappear, even if you right-click on it and click eject, nothing will change.

To get rid of unnecessary virtual disks, we need a program Daemon Tools, of course, other utilities are also suitable, for example, Alcohol 120%.

In general, my problem looks like this:

Although it’s difficult to call it a problem, still. Now let's launch Daemon Tools and in the window you should see all virtual and physical drives. If not, then on the left you can go to the drives tab.

We see an empty drive; to delete it, right-click on it.

This way you can delete all drives, I had them a large number of, I had to manually delete everything. If you see a delete everything button somewhere nearby, I do not advise you to click on it, as this will cause a critical error in the system and the computer will reboot. Most likely this happened due to the fact that, along with the virtual disks, I also supposedly deleted the DVD drive, but it was not deleted, or there was another reason. Therefore, it is better to delete everything manually.

You can download disk emulators on the Internet without any problems, and many people, most likely, already use them, so I won’t give a link. Good luck to all.

Back in Windows 7 developers Microsoft added the ability to create virtual disks and install various operating systems and programs on them. Windows 10 also has this feature. It is useful because the user can not install another OS on a blank disk, but create virtual environment for testing programs and games, absolutely safe for basic work operating system.

Creating a virtual hard disk on Windows 10

There is a standard and easiest way to create a virtual disk on Windows 10. Follow the instructions:

• Press “Win+R” and enter “diskmgmt.msc”.

• The Disk Management window will open. Select the disk on which the virtual disk will be installed. Often this is local disk D. You should not install a virtual disk on a Windows disk.

• Having selected the disk, click “Action”, “Create” virtual hard disk".

• The Create and Attach window appears. First, specify the location of the virtual disk to be created. To do this, click on the “Browse...” button.

• In the “Explorer” window, you need to give a name to the file (disk), and then click on the “Save” button.

IMPORTANT! The official Microsoft website states that it is not recommended to name the virtual disk and the folder in which its files will be saved “Windows”. The system may mistakenly replace it, etc.

• Next, you need to select the virtual disk size. Set right size Can be in MB or GB. For normal operation systems can be set to 32 GB (of course, if the local disk capacity allows it). It is important to note that if you set the size, then select the “Fixed” value. If you set a virtual disk to Dynamic, its size will increase as it fills with files.

• The process of creating a virtual disk will then begin. It will take some time. You will know that the disk has been created from Disk Management. The unallocated area will appear here. It is not necessary to create a volume. You can start using the virtual disk right away.

• To do this, just go to Explorer, where the disk will be located.

Methods to remove a virtual disk from a Windows 10 PC

The first way to delete a virtual disk in Windows 10 is to use the same Disk Management utility. In it you will need to right-click on the virtual disk and select “Detach virtual hard disk”.

If you used virtual disks in your system using the “Subst” command, then removing them from the system is quite simple.

When you execute the “Subst” command, a mounted hard drive appears from a specific directory in the system, but after rebooting the operating system, it does not appear. The question arises: where does it come from and where does it go?

The fact is that Windows 10 is installed in startup batch file, which executes "Subst" commands when the system boots. To get into Windows startup 10 you need to press “Win ​​+ R” and enter “shell:startup”.

The startup window will open. Click on virtual machine right-click and select “Delete”.

Reboot the system. Remote disk will no longer appear on Windows 10.

It is important to note that in this topic we looked at an example of creating and deleting a virtual hard disk, not a drive. Creating and deleting a virtual drive is a separate topic.

How to delete or rename a CD in Explorer?

My explorer shows three drives C: D: E:. C and D are sections hard drive, and E is a CD drive, BUT I DON'T HAVE IT!
So far it hasn’t bothered me, but now I’ve made another hard drive partition and it’s assigned the letter F, since E is busy and a non-existent drive has been squeezed between the hard drive partitions!
How to remove a non-existent CD drive or at least change its letter? Let me remind you right away that Acronis and other programs for working with hard drive partitions are not suitable - they do not see CD drives, especially non-existent ones!

Thanks guys, we figured out how to remove a non-existent E drive! Thanks a lot!!!

I assume that you installed the UltraIso Portabl program on a local disk and did not delete the folder with the program, find and delete it, and get rid of the non-existent "CD E"

Remove UltraISO program if not needed. And if you use the program, then in the program settings, disable the virtual disk or rename it.

Alexey | 3 August 2014, 09:28
You also need to disable the virtual disk in the UltraISO settings (if this program is installed).

presto | 18 May 2013, 18:13
There is a way, but you will have to use the registry editor. IN command line run regedit.exe. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices, right-click on \DosDevices\E: - Rename - replace E with any free letter - close the registry editor, reboot. Now in Disk Management, assign the freed letter E to the third partition. And the entry in MountedDevices corresponding to the drive can be deleted; if it appears again, it will no longer be under the letter E.

Lots of answers and none of them are relevant. It was said that this LED drive is not visible anywhere except in the conductor. And it's not in the device manager. And then they write to change his letter. I wonder what if the disk is not visible anywhere? They are talking about some nameless program. I have the same problem. I once read that you can remove it from the BIOS, but I can’t find this article anywhere due to the passage of time. Maybe someone remembers?

In your screenshot, you have a CD-Rom in your system. If you physically do not have a CD drive in the system, then this means virtual CD-Rom. How to delete? Windows tools or the program that created this virtual CD-Rom. You have already been written about this here. How to change the letter - they also wrote. You can also look at changing the letter (here with pictures). If you don’t understand what they’re talking about here, then call a specialist and let him fix everything for you on the spot.

Yes, judging by the picture here, they did something with the sections, no big deal

If there is no physical CD drive on the computer, but the Sidi drive is shown on my computer, then most likely a Sidi ROM emulator is enabled, such as Daimon Tools or it is in the same Nero...
