Too many Partitions created on new computer
Whist setting up my new Fujitsu AH530 laptop, a box appeared asking whether I wanted to partition the hard drive. This being the second laptop running Windows 7 and a prior one running Vista, that I have started from new, I know that, being Dual Core, there will be two partitions as standard (C&D). Thinking for some reason this computer wanted me to manually set partitions, I clicked yes and adjusted the percentage to 75%/25%, presuming that would give me 'C' Drive of 375GB and 'D' Drive of 125GB.
After setup had finished, a pop up stated that 'E' drive was very low on space. Not knowing where the E drive was (usually dvd drive) I looked at Computer Properties. It stated that 'C' drive was only 40GB and almost full, and 'E' drive, (what would normally be 'D' drive) having only 9.77GB.
I looked in Computer Manager and found that by clicking 'yes' to partitioning the drive, the computer had created another partition.
I now have:-
4/5 partitions,
<2GB Recovery>
<40GB System> 'C'
<9.77GB Drivers> 'E'
<7.00GB Free>
<406.99GB Unallocated>
How do I now get back to having the normal two Partitions of approx 250GB each?
Having never come across the question asked about partitioning the HD,I wonder whether it is something peculiar to Fujitsu.
