I love Alcohol 120% I couldn't do with out it but in your case I would hate it then but here you go.

How do i remove the virtual drives

Q:- I uninstalled Alcohol but the virtual drives remain, how do i remove them?

A:- Go to control panels/system/hardware/device manager, find under "SCSI and RAID controllers" the Alcohol* SCSI controller, and remove it.

All Alcohol drives will disappear. Normally this happens automatically when you uninstall alcohol, unless at the uninstallation time you still had some image mounted.

You will Also need to remove Plug and Play Bios Extension from System Devices. and if needed the Virtual Drive Drivers from the Windows/System32/Drivers Folder.

* Name of the Virtual Drive Driver varies from version to Version.

hi - thanks for the help - it worked - i had to remove the scsi and plug and play bios and rebooted
and its gone - it was driving me crazy to see that virtual drive all the time - i heard that acohol 120 was good also - thats why i wanted to try it but for some reason - it gave me problems with other programs
like dvdshrink - i think that was the problem - anyway i really dont need it - actually i am not even sure what excatly i can do with it - i have so many dvd programs - maybe that was a issue also
thanks again -

Nice one Geestar,
I had the same trouble, so I followed your advice and knackered it completely.
Nah only joking.
Did have a problem re-installing it for a while but I cured that now.
I couldn't do without it either
