Extra Drives showing up in explorer
![]() Here's a screenshot of what i mean. Q shouldnt exist and yet, it does. Also the size of the drive is 0 bytes.. I dont know how long it's been there..but it's bothering me. Could it be due to a virus? I scanned with Avira, malwarebytes anti-malware and superantispyware. They couldnt find anything. Should i be worried? |

sounds like your drive is partitioned into more drives than you thought?
drive letters aren't the result of viruses. |

I can't see why it would have the directory "Q" unless someone gave it the letter.
Could it be a card reader, or printer with a card reader..... If someone else has access to this computer, I would ask them what changes they have made. |

Im the only one with access to the computer the only time i messed with the partitions was about half an ago because im attempting a dual-boot. I dont have a printer installed. No usb keys. No usb drives. I just discovered that i have a card reader on the side of my laptop. There was No Q:\ when i had vista installed( OS that came with laptop). When i installed 7 it wasnt there either. I think it appeared around the time i installed the Office 2010 beta. Could that have something to do with it? |

My drives are not showing up in Windows Explorer. Just like the title says, I can't see any of my drives in Windows Explorer and I can't figure out why. The Disk Manager knows they are there and they are even labeled properly (the hard drive as C; and the dvd drive as D:) but they won't show up in the Explorer window. I just recently switched from... |
