Default Blah. Too many drives!

In my drive list in explorer, there is an extra "CD" drive, that shouldn't be there... And it's not a mounted image. I use DaemonTools for that, and that shows up as drive "G:", but drive "F:" shouldn't be there, and I don't know where it came from... I think it's some left over crap from PowerISO, after I uninstalled it, but the mount-drive stayed there for some reason, is my guess? And my DaemonTools is not set up for two drives, JUST "G:", so what gives?

Check Computer Manager (Start>Run compmgmt.msc). Maybe you made an extra partition and forgot that you did it. If it doesn't show up there, it is a virtual drive.

I figured it had something to do with PowerISO (a virtual drive program) that I recently uninstalled... So I installed it again, disabled virtual drive, and the mysterious drive went away :/
