He's busy doing it, give him some time...

Sorry MarkP15 I didn't mean to get in your way.
I thought that 9 hours was long enough.
I also thought that maybe my request wasn't read or missed.

Your in charge.
Have a nice day.

Hi Jason,

If you try just uploading the screenshot on its own with no text that might work. Also, if you upload a screenshot from the Disk Management window, we could see what were are dealing with exactly.

Kind Regards,

Recovery partition should not be a primary partition. It should be hidden, no drive letter assigned. A utiltiy as powerful as Acronis Drive Director may be needed to quickly and effectively fix this. Again, recovery partition should be hidden, it should not have a drive letter assigned to it.
And, the 55MB OEM partition might be the SystemReserved partition, which Windows must have.

Hi Jason,

I think a good idea would be to remove the drive letter allocated to the reserved partition (D) so although the files are still there, they aren't recognised as a drive. To do this, right-click the drive that you want to change, and then click*Change Drive Letter and Paths, then click Remove and then confirm.

Kind Regards,

Mark

Mark, your idea is much easier to do! I thought OP indicated something amiss with diskmanagement -- I guess I read this topic wrongly :)
