Windows 10: Extra Disk Drives Have Appeared

I have 2 SSDs C: and D: installed on one of my pcs. Now an extra drive has appeared called SYSTEME:.I get an error message saying I cannot access them, because I do not have permission, and I should use the permissions tab.When I click on properties for the drive, there is no permissions tab.I can right click and format the drive, it's size is 100Mb, it does not appear in DISKMGMT and I don't know how to get rid of it.Is there a registry key that can cause this?

:)

 

Extra USB Drives Listed

Bear in mind, if they are Card Reader slots and you remove the Drive letters then insert an SD Card, it won't show up in File Explorer!

Hello Kathy,

Based on the information you have provided in your post; we need to do further investigation. To assist you better, we'd like to know the following:

• Have you tried using a third party software to manage the disk partition?
• Did you format the drive?

We suggest that you check for the drive in the Disk Management and look if it appears. Follow these steps:

• Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
• Press Windows+R key and type diskmgmt.msc and then click OK.

Look if the Drive F: appears and check if it is unallocated.

Looking forward to your update.
