Weird new hardware after formatting and installing WinXPSP1

I noticed a few days after installing XP with SP1, I know have an extra drive letter, it refers to a CDROM device named, Image Simulation SCSI CdRom Device. I don't have such a device, I only have a Pioneer 16x DVD and a Yahama 16x burner.

I noticed a few days after installing XP with SP1, I know have an extra drive letter, it refers to a CDROM device named, Image Simulation SCSI CdRom Device. I don't have such a device, I only have a Pioneer 16x DVD and a Yahama 16x burner. This hardware is mounted on a Soyo P4S mobo. IF I remove the device, it reappears on the next boot up. Please help if you can tell me how to rid my system of this device!

OP
I used Customizer XP to remove it from my computer. I guess that is good enough for now, but it sux to have devices present that you don't even have, I hate little things like that

Did you install Nero?

Nero - and some other apps put in a "image" drive. i had an app that added like a virtual HD - which was not really there.
 
 
however - nero has never done this - if u have no burner connected - it will ask u to use a "image drive" or something - but to my knowledge it does not add anything to your "my computer" area.
