I have an extra CD Drive Indicated under "My Computer" & listed under
"Devices with removable storage." Anyone know how to get rid of this? Thanks
 
If it is showing in device manager, uninstall it from there and reboot, if
that doesn't work remove both CD drives and reboot, if it is still showing
try removing all instances in safe mode..

Post your results..
Cheers

I only have 1 CD drive and this is the only one that shows up in device
manager. When I disconnected this CD Drive & rebooted, the extra CD Drive is
the only one that shows up. However in Safe Mode, this extra CD Drive does
not show up. This seems peculiar? I looked under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller and
found 3 items : Primary IDE Channel, Secondary IDE Channel and SIS PCI IDE
Controller. Does this have anything to do with it?

You may have some software that performs a so-called hardware
emulation. One example of this is U3-enabled thumb drives, like some
of the Kingston DataTraveler drives and the Cruzer Micros, and
another example is CD Daemon or CD image software that loads ISO, BIN,
NRG, CCD, and other CD image filetypes as a physical CD drive.

HTH.
 
No, most likely not the issue..
What is the OEM make and model for computer or (if home built) the boxed
mobo..?

Use the above Everest Home ver, quick report to text option to cut & paste
the mobo, storage, etc, info as I did for my rig, see below..

My IDE controller is also seen in device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI
Controllers along with the primary & secondary IDE channels (3) as well..

Perhaps Everest can help you to ID the occurrence of the mystery optical
drive or other virtual device, etc..?

Thank-you. I removed the Ultra ISO Premium Program and the extra CD Drive
indication has gone away. I am in awe of your knowledge. Thanks
