Default Mystery Drive!?


-----Original Message-----
All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, I have
a 'mystery' CDROM/DVD drive on my computer. Physically,

I
have a CD burner (Drive F) and a DVD-ROM drive (Drive G)
installed. However, Win XP now recognizes another DVD-

ROM
drive (Drive I) that doesn't exist on my system. I tried
uinstalling Drive I in Device Manager, but upon reboot it
returns. Again, I have no physical Drive I. This
happened right out of the blue!

This isn't hurting my system, but I'd like to know why
this happened and how to delete the drive. I tried
deleting a hardware key in the Registry, but that, too,
returned upon rebooting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
.
this happened to me awhile ago and it was after

installing a program but i dont remember what.did you
install something that might have created a virtual drive
without prompting you first?
