Have you installed any new software recently?  There are cd copying
utilities that create virtual cd-rom drives.

Thanks Scott. That answered my question beautifully. I now know what
is causing it and have found the culprit.  Its sitting next to me, my
partner!!! He installed a virtual drive and forgot about it.
Many Many Thanks.
