My M15x says I have one DVD RW Drive (D: ) and one BD-ROM Drive (F: )
as far as I know is physically possible for my laptop, there is only one cd drive on it, no external ones attached and no current virtual ones active.
Can someone please explain why it displays two drives?
Also I'm not sure if my cd drive can play Blu ray discs or not so if someone could clarify that it would be much appreciatedthanks.

I've just tryed to open both drives and the DVD-RW drive made a noise when checking for a cd but the BD-ROM didn't. Does that mean I have no blu ray?
I bought it with a DVD+/-RW (DVD, CD read and write) Slot Load Drive but as all the reviews i've seen say it comes with a blu ray disc reader and have not seen an extra option on the optical drive section I guessed it might be blu ray too. -
It's most probably a virtual drive. A program you must have installed recently installed that virtual drive for you. Check for programs like : nero, slysoft virtual clone drive, daemon tools. Any hardware info program (ex : everest) will give you detailed information about that drive (maker, brand, model, revision, firmware.) and you can google for that to see what it means.

Only virtual driver i have installed is Daemon tools which is not on nor are any processes running. I will try a hardware info program now. thanks for the info

Little new to the program but this is what i've found so far in systems and everest:
-
Daemon Tools, if you google it, you will see that it does exactly that : emulate a virtual drive, for you to load you cd/dvd/bd/hd images.
-
I know what DT does but it is not loaded at this point so I don't see any reason why it would still display the virtual driver.
-
I've looked at the daemontool settings and yes it is the virtual driver = /

i know how you feel man.
