+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted May 2, 2018 Subscriber² Share Posted May 2, 2018 So after swapping a drive in, the boot record got screwed up. I fixed it with Windows Recovery (I think, it has booted up perfectly a half dozen times in a row). However, along with having the MBR corrupted, I get an extra 500 mb partition showing up as a drive Which is annoying, since it is full and Windows keeps reminding me that it is low on space. I'm not entirely comfortable doing anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKAngel Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 its probably your recovery partition and windows has added a drive letter to it in this guide just follow the diskpart guide and it should remove the drive letter, then you dont have to worry about it +Zagadka 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted May 3, 2018 Author Subscriber² Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm more concerned about it showing up at all... the letter doesn't matter much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted May 3, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted May 3, 2018 Talking about the G drive? It has data on it (obviously) and should be browseable. It is probably the Recovery Partition. I would just remove the drive letter and be done with it. :) DaveSharp and +Zagadka 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKAngel Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 which is what i suggested, to the op i wouldn't worry about it showing up but it is normally hidden, it happens from time to time, nothing to worry about really its just a simple recovery partition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
