    I expect it is a physical ROM module that is permanently installed.

    I think so. Maybe it's a separate storage from the main 32GB system drive because it's being seen as USB 2.0.

    Even the Parted Magic Live USB OS can't get rid of it.

    Anyway, I'll just leave it as it is. It's not affecting Windows performance anyway.
    Thanks all for your help and suggestions. I will mark this thread solved but feel free post more suggestions.
