I used to have windows 7 on a 500GB HD and a large 2TB data HD for photos. I decided to install an SSD and a clean install of Windows 8.1 on the SSD. After that worked ok I formatted the old HD that had Win7 and used it as another data drive.
I was a bit surprised to look in disk management and see
U: 500GB Primary (old Win7 OS drive)
C: Boot, Page File, Crash dump, Primary (new SSD Win8 drive)
R: 2TB System, Active,Primary (photo drive that has never had an OS on it!!!!)
I came across this when I was using Filehistory and saw the system image icon. however it is insisting on including the R Drive in the image because it thinks it is a system drive. From a little bit of searching i can see Active and system are completely wrong for R: since the OS only resides on the new SSD. This doens't sound like a good place to be.
How do i fix this as have 800GB of photos on R:!!!
Thanks for any advice
Mike
