Run DriveLetterView - View/Change/Remove drive letters assignment in your system and copy+paste the F: and M: rows into your reply. Put them inside [ CODE ] tags to keep the formatting:
Code:Drive Letter Drive Type Drive Name Drive Description Connected Instance ID Device Path Physical Drive Name Bus Type Last Update Time File System Volume Name Volume Serial Number Free Space Total Size % Free Space Cluster Size Product String Product Revision Vendor String Serial Number D:\ Local Hardware Disk drive No Unknown E:\ Local Hardware @cdrom.inf,%ISO_Generic_FriendlyName%;Microsoft Virtual DVD-ROM CD-ROM Drive No SCSI\CdRom&Ven_Msft&Prod_Virtual_DVD-ROM\2&1f4adffe&0&000001 Unknown
Press the Win Key +X choose Disk Management. In the lower pane what is listed for the F: drive? As stated, if your computer or printer has an SD Card reader, it could be listed with a drive letter. If you don't want to see the F: drive right click it and choose Change Drive Letters or Paths, choose Remove to remove the Drive Letter. If it is a Virtual drive, In File Explorer, right click the F: drive and choose Eject.
I have a "Primera Bravo" CD/DVD disc printer. It is USB connected and has an option for a CD/DVD burner drive. Mine does not have the drive option but the logic (electronics) is still there for it. Windows detects this as a USB drive. Because its in the printer hardware the only way to get around it is to not have the USB plugged in when not using it.
