How to delete virtual drive

[fear]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

On my WinXP PC for some reason I have a drive in Explorer called F:,
but I only have one hard drive. The F drive is empty, so I think
someone somehow got a virtual drive name or something but it's really
just nothing. How do I delete this so it does not show up in File
Explorer, or to keep Norton Disk or Defrag from asking how to deal
with this drive? I just want it to go away.

Try:
Start | Run | Subst F: /d

This is a great solution except .. when I close and reopen explorer, the virtual drive comes back. Also, I have now rebooted and it appears then goes away, appears then goes away, appears then goes away. Guess I will do a system restore.

I have the same problem HOWEVER. The virtual drive appears under my computer as a CD Drive (G) BUT it does not appear in teh Computer management section under disk management. :-( How do I get rid of this one?
