Don't disable the drive. That will do nothing good.

I don't know how. I can't seem to find any sort of "Remove" button. I
found a "Disable Drive" checkbox (Actually, I think it was "Enable
Drive"
but it was checked), but that's near as it gets. I tried just hitting
my
Delete key when my cursor was on the MP3 player, but to no avail. I
may
just try disabling the drive; at this point, I haven't much to lose.
