Oh, I'd forgotten about this, but go RIGHT-click on My Computer,
select Manage, Disk Management. Look for the drive in the list. It may
show up with a drive letter that is already used by another drive, or
it may show with no drive letter. If you see it, RIGHT-click on it,
select Change Drive Letter, click Change, and select a drive letter
that you know is not used.

If it's so "innocuous", why are you so concerned about it being
exposed?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
