Mysterious Appearance of Logical Drive

When trying to connect to my workplace citrix remote
server I discovered that my local machine (my home office
machine) suddenly has a new logical drive assigned as G:

It appears to be some type of system restore logical
drive with a bunch of Dell stuff on it. The partition
size is small (circa 40MB).

Having spent some time on the Dell pages and user boards
I noticed people who upgraded their Roxio version ran
into this -- well, I upgraded some time ago so maybe this
is the cause.

Dell told me to run the Sytem Restore utility, but this
failed because there were no checkpoints recorded (I
think XP was loaded with this turned off)

I need G: to be free (the network drive at work where all
my stuff is located is the G:) so my drive mappings will
work in Citrix.

Short of removing my zip drive and freeing up a letter,
is there a way to hide this logical drive (or remove it)
and free up the letter?
 
UPDATE:

I tried reassigning the logical drive letter via Computer
Management - Disk Management and clicking on the volume
that is the 39MB volume lableled elswhere as G: -- well
it tells me its a EISA (FAT) 39MB on Drive 0 -- it won't
let me make any changes to this volume -- also on Drive 0
is my 55GB volume known as C:

.Can you assign a new letter to this "false drive?"
