what is \\?\volume in defragment is it safe?

What I mean is the \\?\volume in disk defragment. Why is the \\?\volume there.

I know there is no \\?\volume in the disk management if so why is there a \\?\volume in disk Defragment.

I thought disk defragment is suppose to show all the drive in a computer so why is there a \\?\volume

It is the volume's guid. You can see the guid of all the volumes by typing mountvol in cmd

However, I just bought a new lenovo laptop.

Once I reach home and on the laptop and click the defragment, \\?\volume is there.

Is that something I should be worried as in the laptop is a used laptop?

I thought new laptop should all be properly set up hence it should not have the \\?\volume?

Like I said in the previous post, it's most likely Lenovo's way of partitioning their laptops. I also have a Lenovo laptop and on the first time I opened disk defrag, the \\?\volume is also there. You can try to do a complete HDD formatting to remove all the partitions and data and clean install with retail Windows 7 DVD. You will surely not get that \\?\ volume, but you do get the 200MB partition. with the name "system reserved" or "system"

If the volume neither has a name nor a drive letter, the guid will be shown. It is normal.
