Are you by chance using compression on E:?  Having it appear twice
is something I have seen with compressed logical drives.
If so, remove the compression.

System specifics:

6.4gb Hard Drive
Win-98
Additional components-SCSI internal zip, second 2.1 hard drive, CD-ROM, CD
Burner and external LS-120, 1.2 & 1.44 floppy drives.

The hard drive is partitioned in three parts 2.8, .5 and 2.8 with the .5
partition set as virtual memory.  Specific problem is that the .5 partition
is displayed twice.  Originally drive 'E' and now as drive 'I'.  The 'E'
drive appears to be a phantom drive-running in MS-DOS compatability mode.

Is there a way to remove this phantom drive without doing a reformat of the
master dive?
