Re: How to unmap certain partitions?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It is rather unusual to map folders on the local disk to network shares . .
.. Anyway, here is how to get rid of remembered mappings:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
net use * /del {Enter}
net use /persistent:no{Enter}

As close as I can get (since Windows doesn't allow you to right click and
COPY error messages)...

"an error has occured while connecting Q: to\\daadaa1\ J (4.3GB Pavilion)
Microsoft Windows Network: the network name cannot be found"

There were 4 partitions on the hard drive I disconnected, so there are
four
of these error messages in a row, with the bootup stopping on each message
until I click on it.

I think all I have to do is unmap these 4 partitions and this won't be a
problem. Does that sound right, and how can I do that?

I should add that in the past this problem has gone away when I re-connect
the hard drive.

One of my two hard drives in now disconnected. It was on one of two
computers in a LAN. Since the 4 partitions on this hard drive were
mapped,
everytime I start up the other computer is searches for these 4 mapped
partitions...and doesn't find them, but that stopped the bootup process
with
an error message for each missing partition.

How do I unmap these 4 partitions now that they are not in use?

What exactly is the error message you see? (Verbatim, please!)
