very recently i had a new drive(bd-rom) pop up in my computer under "devices with removable storage". funny part is, i don't have one! it just showed up. any thoughts?
bingo to daemon tools.if its not to much to ask cloud you tell me a little about the program? i read the description, but all it really said was that it was a disk imager
It is a program that allows you to mount DVDs and CDs without actually putting them into the DVD drive. The program first reads the DVD or CD (must be in the drive for this) then later when you want to use it, you insert it (virtually from the image created and stored in your harddrive) into the drive (BD-rom - not a real drive but a virtual one) created by the Daemon tools. This is one of the things it does.
I use VirtualCD myself so I'm not as familiar with Daemon.

Yeah, but sometimes the things are really hidden - like Office 2010 installer placing a virtual disk into Computer - a few imaging programs do the same when you mount the image. You have to go really deep into their documentation to find that info.
