Anonymous Local Disk Appeared HELP
I just got home from faculty night and I swear that earlier I did not see this, but I just noticed a Local Disk (Y: ). It's icon has a (?) and when I right click to see its properties, everything is 0 bytes. When I try to double click it a msg says "Y:\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network."


Why is this happening? Please help!!
