Extra/Phantom Drive

Question

I have a disk drive labled as (E:) when I go into My Computer.  I do not know why this drive is here.  Plus every time I click on it I get the message to enter disk.  I have tried to remove this drive, but I do not see how to do it.  Could anyone shed some light on this problem for me.  Thanks: DMIK

Go to Disk management and see if it is listed as a physcial drive. I'm thinking it is an unreadable partition. Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management
