What to do if Windows shows two different letters for the same drive

It's a somewhat rare problem, but in some cases, Windows may show the same hard drive or δύο φορές χρησιμοποιώντας διαφορετικά γράμματα μονάδας δίσκου.

This behavior is usually the result when a user or program creates a virtual drive and assigns it to a real disk. These virtual drives are not like virtual drives that are created with a virtual software, but they are more like a shortcut or as a symbolic link that simply refers to one location.

The virtual drive does not appear in the διαχείρισης δίσκων (επειδή δεν είναι ένα πραγματικός δίσκος), αλλά μπορείτε να το αφαιρέσετε χρησιμοποιώντας τη of commands. See below how.

Open a Command Prompt window and type the following command:

subdocument_display / d

Where the "virtual_drive_drive_letter" is the letter assigned to the drive. If you are not sure what the physical drive letter is and what the virtual drive letter is, open Disk Manager (for Windows 10 right-click on startup and go to Disk Management) and see which letter appears there. What appears is the actual unit. What does not appear is the virtual drive.

In the case of our example, disk management confirms that C: is our real disk, which means that G: is the virtual disk. Thus, our order for removal will be:

subst G: / d

Once you press Enter, the virtual drive must disappear immediately. You do not have to restart Windows or whatever. It is a problem that does not occur frequently, but when it does, it certainly causes panic, do not accidentally erase the entire physical disk.

In addition, you can type the subst command without any parameter to see all the virtual disks that you have on your system.
