I recently bought a refurbished Latitude D430 and partitioned the HDD but in "My Computer" was an icon for a CD Drive (F). As the D430 doesn't have a CDDVD Drive, I assume a USB drive was connected to install the OS and software and then removed.

Can anyone please tell me how to delete the "phantom" Cd drive, as I need to use the F for my partitioning. I've deleted it in Device Manager but it remains in Computer and when I reboot the computer it is back in Device Manager still with an explanation mark
and a fault indicated. In addition each time it boots up Windows tries to install drivers for the Phantom CD
