C & D drive dissapears

[kiepie]

So i assume it is a virus, but with me switching between Virus programs, I can't find any treats on my pc.

Does anyone know about this? The C drive and D drive, regardless of what is is, can be a Hard Drive or CD Rom.

In Disk Management I can see it, and when I change the letter D: to something else, it is shown in My Computer. Can't change C: though as it is my primary partition.

It's a virus... Update your antivirus and use Remove Restrictions Tool to repair the damage (google it)

Awesome! Thanks!

Currently updating my AVG, but with telsum it's going @ 5kbps on a 384k line.

no, it's not a virus. I had this same problem on a client's laptop yesterday. There's a setting in the registry that will fix this: http://www.lancelhoff.com/2008/03/12/how-to-hide-a-drive-letter-in-windows-xp/

Viruses modify the registry to make the drives disappear. It is very common side effect after visiting porn sites.

No porn sites visited

It happened after I used someone's Flash Drive.
