2 Hard drives being seen as 1

[EternalDB]

So, i am brand new to the toms hardware community, and i am looking for help with my laptop. So after my system was practically full, I decided to completely uninstall and reinstall windows 10. After doing so, i went into my devices and drives tab in my computer, and both of my hard drives (a single ssd [250gb] and a hard drive [500gb]) are being recognised as one single drive, a C drive measuring 698GB. i would like to have my 2 drives separate again, anything i can do?

(intel pentium 2117U 1.8Ghz 1.8Ghz, 8GB ram, Intel hd 2500, The exact model of my laptop is the asus x551cap)

what i mean is, is there any way to partition my drive currently on my laptop?

Depending on exactly what you want to do, probably.

You have a single 750GB drive.
And you wish to have 2 partitions?

OK.
Defrag
Shrink the single large partition to ~500GB.
This leaves the rest unallocated.
Create a partition with that space.
Give it a drive letter.

Is there any tutorials of doing this? Never shrunk a drive before.

Terminology - it is a partition, not a drive.
This is how this whole discussion started.

Is there a strong need for 2 partitions? If I were you, I'd just leave it as is....the single 750GB drive with 1 partition on it.
