    I see that you deleted your data partition. I would immediately try undeleting it using Partition Recovery Wizard of Partition Wizard.

    Watch the video here to see how it is done: How to activate Partition Recovery Wizard of partition magic? Partition Wizard Partition Recovery Wizard Video Help.

    I do not know why you would delete your main data partition when you were only to Convert the disk to Basic. You have a video tutorial on how to do that: http://www.partitionwizard.com/video...rtdynamic.html

    Whether you can recover a Dynamic partition is questionable. But if you do then immediately convert the HD to Basic which is all you were to be doing.

    Can we see a Disk Mgmt screenshot as well?

    Why are there Program files on the large data partition?

    I would run a Disk Check on all partitions. This can be done also using PW installed version by rightclicking on each lettered partition to Check File System.

    Even better is to put the User folders on the HD linked to the SSD via the related Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums

    This should make enough space to install the programs on the SSD where they will benefit most.

    If you're extra careful you can gather the Unallocated space into whichever adjacent partition you want it using Partition Wizard bootable CD Resize function, for which I linked a video tutorial earlier. This will also check the file system at the same time.

    Give the partitions a drive letter so they show up in Explorer: Drive Letter - Add, Change, or Remove in Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums

    The correct way to utilize the unallocated space is to resize the adjacent partition into it. If it's to the right you can do it with Disk Mgmt Extend, to the left it must be Partition Wizard Resize.

    Did you try Rebuild BCD? How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Sometimes the only way to finally get rid of the ghost listing is to wipe the OS HD to clear the boot sector.
