and another file also as below shown.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partation(1)windows\system32\disk.sys

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partation(1)windows\system32\intelid.sys

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partation(1)windows\system32\hal.dll

If it's a driver, then you can remove it from device manager (you might have to select "show hidden devices")

Depends on where the file is.

thanks for reply

1. file is in system32 folder. and dos't uninstalled any way.

2. how can i enable "show hidden devices"?

3. Ifile is not driver then how it possible?

What is the filename? And extension too.

files are image.sys and intelid.sys

where are all?

Is there a reason you don't want the drivers installed, do they cause a problem?

If you know they came from installing Nero, then uninstalling the product should remove the drivers.

If you really want/need to prevent the drivers from loading and know their names, you can look at this article, ignoring the bits about making a parallel Windows installation.

But make sure you have a system state backup, as if you edit the wrong value you may make the machine unbootable.

Thanks for reply

It is my test system and on VM. I know all about what i do so no problem for me if wrong value..
