This is not uncommon, so I would not worry about it. You can always remove the Drive letter in Disk Mgmt. Drive Letter - Add, Change, or Remove in Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums
clean install what to know beforehand

Then that is likely the problem, that you have Hidden folders shown. This is not a recommended setting.
I played with this a bit and found
When I log in with my Standard account, I don't see empty drives.
When I log in with my Admin account, I do see empty drives.
EDIT:
In Tools / Folder Options uncheck Show all folders and see if that helps.

When i uncheck Show all folders i can still see hidden files.
I don't see my empty DVD drive listed in the Navigation pane.
If I insert a disc, it gets displayed in the Navigation pane.
