Keep getting error message saying "There is no disk in the drive" HELP!

My computer persistantly displays this error message saying "Windows - No Disk: There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive." When I look at the My Computer screen It shows my floppy drive, my C drive, the unknown Removable Disk Drive (D: ), CD drives E and F, my other internal drive (G: ), my external (H: ), the second partition on my internal drive (I: ), a DVD drive (J: ), and then finally the second unknown Removable Disk Drive (K: ). I have no idea what these Removable disk drives are or how they got here but I think they are causing the problem. Windows thinks there is a disk mounted but there isnt. If it helps the applications I was using at the time of when the incident first began was Azureus, my DVD drive, Divx Player, iTunes, and maybe some more random stuff. This error message pops up whenever I open multiple programs such as iTunes and Azureus. I could REALLY use some help with this as it is starting to become very annoying!

Do you have a flash card reader in your tower or printer? This may account for the Removable Disk Drive(s).

Ok so I figured out how to get rid of them. I right clicked on them in the disk management screen and selected disable. One of them was my media card reader though and now it doesnt work! How do I reinstall or get that reader back?
