I was correct, it was buggy USB. I used a little utility called XP SysPad
and opened Removeable Storage Manager. There was an extra Toshiba USB
librarie in there. I deleted it and the errant CDROM is gone. My USB still
thinks it is F:\, but I can live with that. Disk Manager wouldn't let me
change it back to E:\

Sorry to say I had this problem once before too long to remember how I fixed
it exactly. My computer now has a 3rd CDROM and I believe it is caused by a
USB Stick. XPProSP3 with 2 IDE CDROMS M:\ & R:\ and 2 SATA hard drives C:\ &
D:\ so when I use a USB stick it always comes up as E:\.
Well today the USB came up as F:\ so i looked in Windows Explorere and it
shows a CDROM at E:\ also. Disk management doesn't show this 3rd CDROM.
I have a suspicion it is caused by buggy USB info.
Hoping someone has an inkling how to remove this ghost.

I was wrong my E: CDROM is back after a reboot and it doesn't show up
anymore as a Toshiba with a red X in the Removable Libraries. Any
idea?
