Phantom Drive on My PC

Hello,

I bought a refurbished IBM NetVista (model 8305MU3) that came with an
actual IDE CdRom (drive D) and a phantom SCSI CdRom configured as
drive E, as can be seen from this System Information summary:

Drive D:
Description CD-RM Drive
Media Loaded No
Media Type CD-RM
Name LITEN CD-RM LTN486S
Manufacturer (Standard CD-RM drives)
Status K
Transfer Rate Not Available
SCSI Target ID 0
PNP Device ID IDE\CDRMLITEN_CD-RM_LTN486S
Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys


Drive E:
Description CD-RM Drive
Media Loaded No
Media Type CD-RM
Name BYD PAZN8TYR SCSI CdRom Device
Manufacturer (Standard CD-RM drives)
Status K
Transfer Rate Not Available
SCSI Target ID 0
PNP Device ID SCSI\CDRM&VEN_BYD&PRD_PAZN8TYR
Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys

What need I do to make the phantom go away? Everything I've tried
didn't work, e.g., disabling the drive in Administrative Tools ->
Computer Management -Disk Management. Thanks for any constructive
suggestions!

Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/DVD-CDRM Drives/

and delete the culprit?
