How to solve Windows Disk Management showing duplicate drives?

1

For some reason diskmgmt.msc is showing "repeated drives" (click image for full view):

enter image description here

As can be seen, RECOVERY (D:) has two rows, one stating "File System" as NTFS and the other showing blank.

This doesn't seem right at all. Iirc, there used to be only one row.

Why is this happening?

How can this problem be solved?


Many threads on Google, but no answer (as usual). From the threads, seems to be a HP problem?
