What is this device?

[Slickone]

In my (WinXP Pro) device manager, under DVD/CD-ROM drives, I have a device listed as "AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device". What is this? My drives are a Lite On LTR-48125W (CDRW) and Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1402, both of which are listed.

Also, why under hard drives is my IBM 40GB 120GXP listed as IC35L040AVVA07-0?

Using a card-based ide controller? SATA? Extra ide channels on mb to allow raid? These will show up in Windows as SCSI devices.

Are you running any virtual CD drivers (e.g. Nero ImageDrive)?

AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device is a driver for a virtual CD/DVD drive. The drive should show up in My Computer too. You can mount nearly any CD/DVD inage into it. It will act like any normal CD/DVD in a CD/DVD drive. Most times to mount the image, you right-click on the drive in My Computer, then select Mount Image.

To the first two replies, no I have none of those that I know of?

It wouldn't come with XP right? Sounds like maybe Alcohol 120% installed it? I've never done anything with virtual drives.

Yes, Alcohol 120% does have a virtual CD driver.

I get that when I use alcohol 120 and mount an image

Alcohol 120% is a virtual drive emulator. I mean, that's it's very purpose!
