Permanently Remove a Removable Drive

Hi everybody,
I have a removable drive using different letters (I,J) every time I reboot. How do
I remove it permanently? How does my system mounts it? From which place?
Thanks for any and all help.
Gideon

Some Removable Drives are Card Readers Mounted in the Printer, some Computer cases
have them mounted on the Front of the Case, I even have a Floppy Drive that has Card
readers built in.

What do you mean by "remove it permanently"? What are you trying to accomplish?

Hi,
As it is written in the original - the drive comes back evary time I reboot. I would
like it NOT to come back...

If I'd understood what you had written I wouldn't have asked for clarification. Restating
the same unclear words does not make them any clearer.
Still not sure what you mean. Are you saying that if you remove the drive, then
reboot, the drive still appears in Windows Explorer/My Computer/Disk Management?
How do you remove the drive? Do you use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the
system tray before disconnecting the drive?
What kind of drive is it?

Dear Kurt,
Being unpolite doesn't solve anything. I'm 61 and surely MUCH older than you...
The drive I'm talking about is removable disk - a USB drive. I have removed it through
the 'safely remove hardware' and it was removed, but every time I reboot, it appears
again...
Sorry for any mistakes in English - it is not my mothertongue.
Kind regards,

He was NOT being impolite, just stating the facts. Your posts make little sense.
Also whether you are older or younger than Rich is completely irrelevant, but you
are not older than me.
The drive is not removed unless you physically remove the connection. If you leave
it connected, then Windows will find it again when you restart... that's what it's
supposed to do.
