[SOLVED] Installed old laptop drive, showing 2 separate drives

[neville132]

I've installed an old laptop drive into my pc, it's showing up in the windows explorer but there's another drive that's appeared called LENOVO (G. It had old laptop drivers on, is this embedded within the hard drive that came with my laptop or is there some way I can get rid of it as it seems to be using up space. Thanks

SSD is the windows, hard drive 2 is normal. Hard drive 1 and f off drives used to be the old windows and LENOVO one but I formatted them hoping it would fix it

OK, so it is Disk 2?

That 25GB partition (G) would have been for the original Lenovo Factory Recovery function.

OK Disk 2, if there is no data you want from it....DELETE those partitions.
Not just 'format.

You'll end up with one large space to do with as you desire.

Lovely, thank you I'll try it out

If I delete the partitions will it erase all the data from the drive again? I've moved some stuff onto the hard drive

As said, if there is nothing on that drive you want...delete them.
