Extra (3rd) CD drive showing up, have no idea what it is
I am just finishing setting up my new system, and I see this 3rd CD drive that I can't tell what it is. I have not set up any virtual CD drive yet. On the first two (DVD burner and CD rom) when I hit eject, I can see which drive they are. When I do it on the 3rd one, nothing happens. It says something about SCSI device in devive manager. Sounds like a virtual drive maybe but I sure don't think I installed one. The software I installed I have used before and I wasn't expecting to see this. What could it be? I did install Alcohol-120% but I didn't create any drives or do anything with it yet. Does it make one all by itself?

By the way, you can access some properties of Alcohol 120 virtuial drive from Contol Panel
Yup, Alcohol sounds like the culprit, right click on the drive, then on properties, now click on Hardware, find the drive on the list, then click Properties again, it should tell you more about it.
They install a vitual drive. It's very usefull because you can copy your favorite game CD's images to harddisk and "mount" them on those virtual drives. You can add more than one, too ;)
The nice thing is: If you have space, forgot about locating those CD's. Keep them on a box...
Luck,
