    CD-ROM Volume suddenly showing in Optimize Drives


    Hello. A few months ago this unknown volume showed in Optimize Drives. It's for the DVD-ROM drive based on the description and the fact it disappears if I disable the device via the device manager. You can't optimize it and I don't understand why it's suddenly there. There's no options to hide it, remove it, or anything. Is this a new feature that can't be changed or is it something I can correct without disabling the DVD drive itself.

    :)

    D: drive suddenly mapped to non existent CD ROM drive, cannot change or remove

    File Explorer shows a CD ROM drive mounted to the D: drive letter. My computer does not have a CD ROM drive attached. The drive does not show up in Disk Management or in DISKPART "list volume". It does not show up in the registry (that I can find). This
    started occurring a couple days ago "out of the blue", I'm assuming a Windows update? When I right click on the drive in File Explorer and select Properties/Drivers, only the drivers for my hard drives show, no driver for the CD ROM drive.

    This is causing me headaches because I typically mount a secure image to D: and all my applications are configured to find data on the D: drive. Rather than reconfigure the whole system I need to remove (or assign a different drive letter to) the "ghost"
    CD ROM drive.

    Cd Rom / Dvd Writer

    Hi,

    I have both Samsung CD ROM & LG DVD Writer(Both are internal). Since some days CD ROM is getting opened and trying to get closed all by its own.

    I removed the power cord of CD ROM & again connected. This time it is not showing both the drives. It is showing only 1 drive and if i right click on that drive and select eject, both the drives are getting opened.

    Is it anything related to virus? Do i need to install OS once again.

    Pls Suggest
