Hard Drive Help

Kari said:

A hard disk drive (HDD) is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating discs (platters) coated with magnetic material. An HDD retains its data even when powered off. Data is read in a random-access manner, meaning individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than just sequentially. An HDD consists of one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating discs (platters) with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces.

Can we do anything else for you?

Based on the OP's question, that is a great answer. Now, just in case the OP wants to test your knowledge further, be sure to have information for SSD's.

Please post a screenshot of the Disk Manager in Computer Management.

i dont know how

Please right-click the 15GB partition, and click "Change drive letters and paths...". Press "Add", take note of the drive letter assigned, and click "OK". Go to "My Computer" and access that drive. Take a screenshot of the contents please.

i cant do anything with but to delet it

Is this the original factory preinstall, or has it been reinstalled? The EFI partition appears to be a remnant of a previous install done in EFI mode to GPT disk which has now been clean reinstalled to an MBR disk instead. Technical Note: UEFI BIOS vs. Legacy BIOS - YouTube

To be absolutely certain about the 15gb partition unhide System and Hidden files at Control Panel>Folder Options>View, then see if it will assign a letter in DIsk Mgmt or rightclick>Explore.

If this fails install Partition Wizard to try Exploring the partition, assigning a letter first if necessary.

If you haven't already, I would generate your Asus Recovery disks to see if the Recovery partition is working.

ok thanks i will try that

That's a really strange setup...
