Slight Problem: 3DMark2001 SE's "System Info"

Well, it's not really a problem at all, but it's slightly annoying. Under 3DMark2001 SE, when clicking the "System Info" tab, and under "Hard Disk Info," it lists all of my drives. That's what it's supposed to do. However, not only does it list the drives that I currently have installed in the computer, but it also lists drives that I removed from the computer as well.

+ Hard Disk Info
MDT MD600BB-32BSA0
WDC WD600BB-00CAA1
WDC WD200JB-00BTA1 <------------- Old 20 GB HDD that I removed a couple of months ago. Why is 3DMark2001 SE still listing it?

Note that 3DMark2001 SE is the only program on the computer that still lists the old HD info. I'm guessing this information is still saved somewhere in the PC configuration, since 3DMark2001 retrieves this information from that configuration. If it is still saved somewhere, is it possible to remove that information, so that 3DMark2001 won't list that old HDD? I don't want to do a re-format (as some people suggested) to get rid of a small problem that really isn't a problem at all. Can anyone help?

3DMark is VERY inaccurate when it comes to "System Information", do not worry about it whatsoever.

This is improved in 3dMark03, no info can be leaked yet (NDA) however things are on the up.

Really? Hopefully 3DMark2003 won't do the same thing. Isn't 3DMark2003 coming out shortly?
