Extraenous hard drive showing up in explorer

So I put together a new system today and did a clean install of windows. I have 2 physical hard drives and 2 optical drives. I have 'C:' 'D:' 'G:' and 'H:'. There is a 'F:' drive but it's not accessible at all and everytime I click on it, windows asks me if I want to format it. All of my hard drives show the correct sizes. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Bring up the properties on it and see what it says about it. Look at the Hardware tab and see if any strangeness appears there.

Click to expand...

Properties shows a RAW filesystem...filled with 0 bytes. Hardware tab shows 2 hard drives, which is correct. My computer is running smoothly, I'm not noticing any problems. It's just a little annoying.
 
Yeah, that would drive me nuts too!

What do you see under Computer Management / Disk Management (right-click My Computer, select Manage)?
 
do you have a usb card reader built in? that could be causing the extra drive to show up.

otherwise if you're not having any problems maybe just use tweakui to stop it from showing up in my computer.
