[SOLVED] Blank partitions showing up

[PunchyTurtle]

Just built a new pc, and installed windows, booted everything up. Got all the drivers and everything installed. I look into devices and drives, and I see 4 blank, unclickable USB drives, in addition to my 1tb M.2 SSD. I can't go into them, click into them, or anything. I tried removing them in disk management, but after a restart, they show back up. This could be because I used an external hard drive to install windows, which I unplugged roughly a quarter way into the installation process, although I'm not sure how it would have turned into 4 different drives.

Here's an image of all the extra blank drives:

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks.

My guess you have a multi card reader, but no memory card inserted.

I do indeed have one. That would be it
Thank you so much
