    Recently my system has been detecting a BD-ROM Drive (D), when I have never even played a bluray file let alone had a bluray drive detected.
    It is not my DVD drive (E) which is connected via esata/usb. (used to be in side, but replaced with a hdd caddy.
    The only thing I can think of it being related to is maybe a daemon tools virtual drive but it doesnt go away even when i uninstall daemon tools.

    Yeah, an "SCSI" DVD drive on a normal computer means a Virtual drive software.

    Try reinstalling daemon tools, disable all of the drives, and then uninstall

    Thanks guys that was the issue, it didn't seem to delete itself when uninstalling daemon tools.
