I'm running Windows 10 and I just noticed today that this unknown blank drive appears under My PC. I tried deleting it, but it immediately returned. I only have three drives - 1 HDD, 1 SSD, and 1 DVD/ROM drive. I checked Device Manager and it shows nothing else that I can find, at least not under storage. When I right click the file, it only gives me the three options shown below. And, there's no memory card attached to the computer.
Does anyone know what that could be, and how I can remove it permanently? Does it threaten my computer (e.g. a virus)?
When I run EaseUS Partition Master, there's an asterisk representing the drive under the subheading, "Drive 2", as shown in the second image below. Is that simply the recovery partition, or does that represent the unknown drive? There's no descriptor, so I'm unsure.
I also copied the hardware list that I have for your convenience:
Hardware:
Internal
+ Intel i7-3770K LGA1155 CPU
+ MSI Z77A GD55 Motherboard
+ EVGA GTX 780 Ti
+ Cougar 750 Watt PSU
+ Mushkin 16gb ram
+ Corsair liquid cooling for CPU
+ Samsung DVD Drive SH-224BB
+ Samsung 128gb SSD MZ-7PC128B/WW R
+ Western Digital WD6400AAKS HDD
+ Antec 902 Tower
External
+ Thermaltake mechanical wired keyboard KB-MEG005
+ Logitech M-BS81A wired mouse
+ Sennheiser PC-320 headset
+ Samsung ML2070W Printer
+ Samsung UN48JU7500 4K TV (via HDMI)
+ Yamaha RXV757 Receiver
+ Athena 5.1 Home Theater System
Thanks in advance!
