Too many Partitions created on new computer

What, the 407GB surplus?? There is no room left on the other partitions.

What DATA do you have on E:?

I would assume it's a driver backup partition?

Fujitsu come with a Windows 7 install DVD & Drivers DVD.

Tried a re install, nothing changed in the partition section.

No, I was referring to the one marked Drivers.

As you made C: so small, setup has put some file on D:
Below is a Fujitsu AH530 HD Drive setup.

Did you clean the HD Drive like below tutorials?
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Partition the Hard Drive in a Windows 7 Install

I am not sure what is meant by a 'logical drive'. It says I can make a 'simple volume', but how will I know whether it is 'logical' or 'primary'. Just assure me that all those files on the E drive can be deleted without affecting the running of all the internals.

No. I did not want to wipe the HDD because having done that in the past on another computer, it always states on start up, that it is not a genuine copy of Windows, even though I used genuine repair disk, and I did not want to give my friend a computer with that written all over it. Also, all those black looking boxes look like I am somewhere in the Bios.
