trying to move hard drive partitions

[jposo1]

[/URL][/img] these partitions i have circled what are they? can they safely be deleted and how? if not how do i move them all to disk 1 that is where i like to keep all important files and programs .

those are recovery partions, i take it you have a laptop or a dell/acer/hp brand pc and they alway make those partions.
you cant remove from within windows, but you can with like a winxp recover CD that boots from the cd and runs temporaly off the ram.
but you might mess up the master boot record, and boot sector in the prosecc and those are also a pain to restore.
disk1 is reqired by your system in order to creat a bootable partion that windows or other os's can go on and there is no way around it you have to have it.
that space that youare pointing out is merly 600 mb so its about the size of a cd. these days it alomost not worth it to bother with it what you gonna acomplish with an extra 600mb that you could not acmplish before? out of 3.5+terabyts....?

Possible? Probably.
Recommended? No.

Question: How old is this install?

Well this was a fresh Windows 10 instal I did fairly recently I wanted to move my os and essential files to the smaller of my two ssds and then I noticed that these extra two partitions showed up

So...what happened is this:

You installed the OS with the 3 drives installed. The install process put that 450MB partition on the 'other' drive. This is typical.

Possible ways to fix:

1 - clean reinstall of the OS, with ONLY the 1 drive installed. Everything will end up on that drive.

2 - Remove ALL other drives except the OS drive (Disk 1). Boot from your OS install media, and go to the Repair function. This may fix it.

3. Leave it. It is tiny and of no real consequence. In Disk Management, it looks much 'larger' than it actually is on the disk as far as used space. It is taking up ~0.25% of the actual drive space.

I would not recommend 'moving it'. You may well end up in an unrecoverable state.

Yeah I just like stuff near and tidy but it seems like more trouble than it's worth thank you
