I installed HP DVD movie writer, but the program can't find the DVD writer
when I try to use the program. I suspect the problem is as follows: There are
5 drives on the computer - C,D,E,G,H. C&D are the hard drive; E is the CD/DVD
drive built into the computer; G is labeled "rremovable disk"; H is the movie
wrtiter drive. The problem seems to be that the software for this program is
installed in drives E, G, & H. Ideally I would like to delete drive G but in
any case I want to take the driver off drives E & G. How do I do this?

I agree that you need to simplify.

I doubt that the software is on E:, if you mean installed there, since E: is
the dvd drive. The software needs to be installed in the System partition,
which I assume is C:. It is hard to follow what you want to do from the
description. In any case I doubt that the problem is caused by the drives.

Thanks. The software that runs the programs is on the hard drive, C, But the
driver is on E, G & H. I want to get the driver off E & G, or at least
disable it.
