Windows reading a drive that doesn't even exist.

I'm not sure what is going on. Partition Magic does not read the 'I' drive that
shows up in "My Computer," nor does "Computer Management" from the control panel.
When I format the unallocated drive, an 'E' (I set it to 'E') drive appears, and
the 'I' drive is then linked to the 'E' drive--meaning the 'I' drive contains the
partitioned space in the 'E' drive. I can access files (from one partition, on one
hardrive) using both the 'E' and 'I' drive. When I completely remove the unallocated
drive, the 'I' drive associates itself to the C drive so... whatever is in the C
drive, is also appears in the 'I' drive. Some how the 'I' becomes somewhat of a
'shortcut' to random drive letters.
Not sure if that made sense to any of you, it's kind of a hard problem to explain
in the first place >.<. Probably not a very common problem.
