My computer was running extremely slow and after looking around I discovered
that a mirror image of the C drive had been created called X drive. I was
able to restart my computer and it was gone and the computer was back to
running at a normal speed. A few days later it happened again and now I
cannot get rid of it. Can anyone give me some information on how to fix this?
Thanks

IIRC, "X Drive" is associated with an on-line storage company. Did you
sign up for the service or got involved with it? The symptoms are there,
viz., slowing of the computer due to an online Internet connection, a
mirrored drive that seems to be mapped to the computer, etc.

We haven't signed up for any service of any kind. Thanks for responding to
the question. Do you know if this could be caused by a virus? We have virus
checkers etc and it is not showing anything? When I check the properties of
"local Drive X" it is exactly the same as "local Drive C". We have Windows
XP. IF you know of anything else about this or how I can fix it please let me
know. Thanks again

Got a Dell with Norton Ghost installed perhaps?
