At some unknown point in time over the last few weeks a new local disk "Q" has appeared on my system. It shows, along with my normal c, d & e (dvd) drives when I click computer. Properties shows capacity of 0 bytes. When I check windows management console Q does not show up. It also does not show up when I run Paragon Partition Manager. How can I tell where this local disk came from and how can I remove it?

Hi,
Have you been installing a disk imaging/burning program lately?
Those usually create virtual drives for their homework.

This can happen if you use the click-to-run feature in the Office 2010 beta.

Thanks for the idea. I have Acronis True Image installed, but that was a
long time ago. I think Dominic may have nailed it.

Thanks Dominic. I think you may have it. Out of curiousity do you know if
it goes away with uninstall?
