I have had a similar problem: an unwanted E-drive. I could even copy files to it.
According to FDISK, there was no E-drive. Several partition analysis programs I ran 
either crashed or made no mention of the E-drive.

I finally discovered that the E-drive was pointing to my hard drive (in addition 
to the legal C and D-drives, that between them took up the entire hard drive)

I did this with My Computer/ Properties/ Device manager tab, and then properties 
for the "disk drive" drivers. I couldn't change drive letters there, so I updated 
the driver (one of the options in the window), to some generic driver.

The next time I booted the unwanted E-drive was gone!!
So far, everything still seems to be working fine..

Hope this helps...

Wouter
