Windows shows the same HDD twice, why?

I've got 2 HDD installed on a VIA chipset motherboard, and Windows ME reports 3 HDD installed. Each HDD has but 1 partition . The ''ghost'' HDD shows up as D drive, whereas the C and E are correctly identified and labeled. How do I get rid of D drive? Thanks for any help.
 
You sure or are you jumping the gun here?

How large is drive E then? And does it correspond to the exact size of drive C or D?
 
when you run fdisk option 4 for each drive, does it display one partition for each drive? Did you map a drive? Could the ghost drive be a zip drive? Does device manager show the extra drive also?
 
I had a similar problem on an old pentium system.
The problem was with the flaky motherboard. It had an ALI chipset.
I upgraded the bios and installed a IDE driver patch file from the manufacturer's website.
See if there is something similar for you set up.
