    Did you recently install any software related to the disc drive? If so, the software may have created virtual or phantom drives.

      Not until you answer the question. If you did install specific software then you can uninstall it.

        Do you have a MagicJack?  That will do it.

        I kind of understand how MagicJack works, but why would it install virtual DVD drives?
