Yesterday, I notice that there is a weird USB in My Computer. When I clicked on it, it was blanked. And I did not have any USB connected to my PC. How do I remove that? It is annoyed.

Do you have any programs that would have created a virtual drive like utraiso, VMware, NERO, ETC?
Have you looked in disk management and see if it shows up as actual hardware?
Have you cleaned your registry lately?

I just did check it. I do not think it show up as actual hardware. I do not creat virtual drive either. I did add a registry that allowed animation in Windows Start Up. I hope it is not the cause? If that is, is there a way to revert it?

Hi
Ryan_Se7en...
Just thinking ....why dont you try ..go in to device manager and just delete it.....
but before you do that create a restore point please...
Give that a go and reboot and see what happens...

If that dosent work.. try to find out when that came about and just do a rollback to before that date..
Good luck...I hope that works..

That is a really really weird drive u have showing up there I think that is more likely a windows 8 bug of something showing. The reason being I say that is look under the icon see how it says fat32 as to how that drive is formatted thats a really really old way of having ur drive formatted everything is NTFS since what windows 98 fat32 is like pre windows 98 formatting do u maybe have a floppy drive connected to your computer at all that could be what thats showing up as because really no one uses floppy drives anymore possibly that how windows 8 reads a floppy drive ?
