I'm trying to remove a local hard disk, that is listed in my exploerer as Q: This disk does not exsist,it does not show up anywhere else, not in device manager, no where.and yet it still shows in my explorer, and ofcourse it's unaccessible.I have no idea how it got there, but I need it gone. the last thing I did with any drive related changes was to add a network drive connected to windows skydrive.However, even with that drive removed and a reboot.. the Q: is still there.OS is Win7 Pro 64bit

Simple answer - you most likely have MS Office 2010 Beta installed. It sets up a virtual Q drive. If you need it gone (why?) uninstall Office 2010.theWeissGuy

Hello,Try uninstall "Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010 (Beta)". If the Drive Q still appear in Explorer, move to the next step:1. Click start button, right click Computer and choose Manage.2. Click Shared Folders->Shares. If Q drive is listed, right click and choose stop sharing.Thomas77

Yup, that was it, Office 2010 Beta.. I just renamed the drive to Office, so that I'd stop getting annoyed seeing it.thanks.
