    I recently checked my "Computer" shortcut. You know, the one with C: an D: and stuff. Today I saw that I have a HD-DVD drive along with my Blu-ray Reading drive. ***? This might be a stupid question but I need help.

    Running any drive emulation software? Daemon tools, PowerISO, etc?
    Check device manager and get the HID.
