Hard drive I have never seen before
After a reformat back to factory settings I now have "4" hard drives connected...What is this 4th and can I get rid of it? Nothing else is connected.

I saw something similar in Macrium Reflects recovery environment when I reimaged Win7 back from Win 10TP after a catastrophic failure(as usual, my fault). Macrium warned me that it would rewrite over this partition.

Something fishy there, you have two D: Recovery partitions of same size but one not formated and not showing up at all.

Yeah. The only thing I ever did was install and remove Windows 10. Anyway I could fix this to just have my main partition and the recovery partition present?
