[SOLVED]Removed HDD, it was replaced by a fake CD drive.

[tria1999GR]

Hi!

Recently I removed 1 HDD from my computer (E:) but then its letter was immediately taken up by a fake CD drive, and I cannot remove it. When I put the disk back on, it had a different letter, resulting in my shortcuts becoming problematic.

How can I remove the fake drive from my system? It is invisible in Device Management and anywhere else, its only visible in My computer (picture below). Also, cannot use its letter elsewhere.

Thanks in advance!

right clic on the Start button and open the Disk management tool.

 

 

 

 

 

The in the Disk Management tool, right clic on the CD drive and select Change Driver Letter ... and replace the CD letter to something else, then do the same for the HDD and put back the original letter.

It seems I may have been unclear, here is another pic.

do you have any iso software installed ?

deamon, ultra-iso etc? it might be their virtual cd drive feature

Check the Device Manager and try to uninstall the virtual CD drive from there.

Checked that out too, nothing there. It was PowerIso
