I used 7-Zip to extract "Recovery" from the ISO file. DISM was not needed.
I used 7-Zip to extract "Recovery" from the ISO file. DISM was not needed.
Last night I had let GDB create a population tree.
The computer was used during the day.
There has been no reboot.
Somehow the recovery partitions are no longer RAW and there are multiple new drives in diskpart and disk management.
And running the diskparinfo script it is enabled.
There are no drives attached to the computer other than H: which is a sandisk 64 GB drive.
The 64 GB flash drive has a windows 10 iso.
It had been created on the Microsoft website formatting into 32 GB FAT32.
So D:, E:, F:, G: are unknown in diskpart and disk management.
These drive letters were not seen in minitool.
Were CDFS and UDF created by GDB?

GDB only scans drive. I don't think it created the CDROM drives.
You may try DriveCleanup to remove all non-present drives.
Download v 1.6.1 of the drivecleanup.zip from Drive Tools for Windows (Roll down on this page till you see DriveCleanup V 1.6.1 )
Unzip it to a folder, say drivecleanup.
You will have two folders Win32 and x64 each containing DriveCleanup.exe for 32 bit and 64 bit respectively.
Remove all USB storage devices from your system (except your USBKeyboard / mouse) and reboot. Disconnect internet/network.
Right click on the DriveCleanup.exe and run as administrator. (Use the DriveCleanup.exe file appropriate for your bit version of Windows.).
Note: Run without administrator privileges it will show you what all it will remove)
After the clean up act, reboot and check whether the phantom drives are gone.
( When you plug in your USB devices after this cleanup, these will be installed afresh. What you have done is to remove all non-present devices and drive letters associated with them and start with a clean slate. )
