    Extra unnecessary Hard Drive


    I have put up with this for a long time, and I decided it's getting in the way.

    I found out in Defraggler that it belongs to my other Seagate hard drive, Local Disk F and Storage Disk G Extra unnecessary Hard Drive-untitled-1.png
    So how would I remove it?

    Why? Will my computer explode?
    I don't neccesarily mean 'delete', just hide it or something.

    Normally it is hidden, would only show up in disk management. Did you give it a letter or was it like that when you got the pc ?

    It was like that, it's never been hidden. Is there a way I can manually hide it?

    Windows uses that area to store recovery data. I wouldn't remove it. It shouldn't have a drive leter assigned. What does it show in Windows disk management. Perhaps your software is assigning a letter because it doesn't know any better.

    You do not want to delete the System Reserved. It should not have a drive letter assigned to it. Remove the driver letter and Windows will not see it. However, it will be seen by defrag utils and disk utils.

    The system reserve partition has boot files on it. If you delete it the system will not boot. Read the tutorials here about how to hide it again or put the boot files on the C: drive. Unless you know what your doing, I recommend leaving it alone.

    Here`s a shot of what it should look like.
