i have a dvd drive and a cd burner installed on my computer. while using media player, i noticed a third. opening my computer, there is three. the dvd drive (E:) the cd burner (F:) and the mystery Third drive (G:). does anyone know why i have three? right clicking then choosing eject does nothing. could it possibly be cause i have cdrwin or winISO installed? i have a picture of the three shown drives in my computer if anyone wants to see it. just email me.

One of them is a "virtual" drive that is installed by one of your burning programs. It allows you to burn images to your disk and then play the images through the virtual drive instead of having to physically install a disc to the driv.
