| | Re: Drive D Often with OEM computers Drive D: is a partition on your boot drive that contains only your System Recovery files. It's not meant to be used by you for anything other than reinstalling the OS and/or software. Altering the contents or structure can leave you without any way to recover the operating system or programs that came bundled with the PC.

| | Re: Drive D You don't need to do anything, there's nothing to fix. The contents are hidden so that you don't accidentally change or delete anything.

| | Re: Drive D You're looking for problems where there aren't any. They don't always hide the drive, only the contents. Only a non-Windows drive/partition wouldn't have a drive letter. Of course it is almost full, there's no point making a partition bigger than necessary to hold the recovery data.

To hide the partition, add 0x10 at the type-byte. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Jawade.
