On my computer I currently have one disc drive, a LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive. Yet, a couple months ago, I noticed that when I go to "My Computer" there appears to be a second disc drive claiming to be the HD-DVD ROM(Drive F:). I literally have no such device attached to my system. I can go into the Device Manager and uninstall it, but it will simply return after a reboot. During a Hardware Diagnostic the computer even attempts to test this device as if it were real and attached.

I know most people's first question is to ask if I have any program that emulates a drive for mounting ISO files such as Daemon Tools. I assure you that I have no such program installed.

Any ideas??
