Vista Boots SUPER slowly, ghost drive the culprit

Ok so i recently upgraded from home premium. back them my computer would boot in about 35 seconds, but now it takes at least 2 minutes to boot up. I tried booting my computer up in verbose mode and everything was normal until right after the message about my os version, this message says :
"cannot determine filesystem on drive /??/9A3B-432DCB32-34998-5BDA7/"

after this message my computer boots up normally. now I notice in the my computer section a drive called "removeable disk E" i check all my usb ports and nothing.
I try to open the drive and i get a message saying "no disk in drive", pretty standard.
but here comes the weird part, when i try to right click on the drive it crashes Explorer!
I'm sure what is happening is when windows boots it trys to open this drive and can't, which is what is making my computer boot slowly. But the question is: how do i get rid of this drive?

I looked at it in the windows partition manager and it says that the drive is in the MBR so i'll try deleting it, and restarting, hopefully i'll be back

Nope didnt help, but now the drive is gone:huh:

never mind, I fixed the problem, it was my integrated card reader, it didnt have the correct drivers so windows was trying to boot from it, installed the correct drivers and now everything is normal.
