My wife's computer has recently picked up an interesting quirk. When using explorer to look at the different drives/partitions on her computer, we see an extra CD-R drive which doesn't exist on her computer in addition to her DVD-RW drive. Occasionally, her DVD drive refuses to acknowledge the presence of a CD or DVD, and can this can only be gotten around by uninstalling and then reinstalling the driver for the device.

I can't find a driver for the ghost CD-R drive to uninstall, nor do I see it on the Device Manager. BIOS does not indicate its presence, either.

Any ideas?
