Hello All!

I was wondering if anyone can help with my issue, as stated in the title, I have a hard drive with "system reserved" on it, however when i open the hard drive all it is showing is an empty text document called "Recovery" .

I'm wondering what this is and how to fix it, i only have two SSD's but showing as 3 in "This PC" Devices.

I was looking through the forum and did not see what I was looking for, I seen some when installing windows but not when windows was already installed.
 
Windows installation will also create a hidden recovery partition.
If you installed windows when a second drive was attached(a mistake) you will get the recovery partition placed on the second drive.
That makes it all but impossible to boot without that second drive present.
