Uninstalling a hard drive

[Gas Panic!]

Hi peeps,

I installed a new 320Gb Seagate 7200.10 last week as my new data drive - it was replacing an old 7200.7 IDE drive. I simply plugged the new one in, copied stuff from the old one to the new one, and then removed the old drive after shutting down.

However, I've been getting a few System Restore error messages in Event Viewer - it says it has a problem on Hard Disk Volume 2. This is incorrect as I only have two drives - data drive (0) and main OS drive (1).

Is there a method to uninstalling drives from the system? Can I just plug the old one back in and then uninstall it or something?

Thanks for any help received.

Hi, apologies if I wasn't clear enough. I don't want to use the old drive at all, that's why I bought a new one. Basically, I didn't do anything to uninstall it from the system - I just pulled it out. Should I have uninstalled it first, say from Device Manager?

Cheers.

I'll just leave it I think... and continue to monitor it.

Thanks for your help.
