What is Remote Disc

[jbrown]

This is on a rMBP I bought, and despite reformatting and installing my system it still appears.

What is it?

Is it of any use?

How can I get rid of it ( I've tried dragging it out - but it only re=appears when I restart ).

cheers

Did you try cmd+dragging it out.

It is the remote disk feature that allows you to access an optical drive on another Mac to install software etc.

You can hide it by opening Finder then command-comma to bring up Finder preferences then go to the Sidebar tab and Uncheck CD DVD and iPods in the Devices section at the bottom.
