I unzipped a file (Fallout 2 Desktop Theme), then I rebooted and noticed that I now have 2 hard drives without installing any new hard drives. Its called the V Drive. Its named "Stream Theory". Also, its only 69 megs large, half full, half empty. I can't save anything to it because there is errors in it I think, and when I try to scan it, it says it can't locate it. Its very weird. Is there any way I can delete that hard drive? Remember, I didnt install any new drives, just unzipped, rebooted and got this. If I click on Delete, it wont do anything. It's very strange.

Also, it says something about using MS-DOS Compatibility. I think its an error but not to sure.

Sounds like a virus, try booting to a dos prompt and see what it says then. Also does your bios detect it, or is it only windows that detects it ???

Boot from system disk and use antivirus on your FIRST drive
