Hi,     Was advised on another forum to delete any ISO Programmes installed, when I did it worked. Thanks to all who offered help. regards, djl7
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 CD\DVD Drive, I assume a USB drive was connected to install the OS and software. 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. Can anyone help please     
CD\DVD not there
