I installed W10 fresh on a new SSD as my boot drive. After this I tried adding a new additional SSD forextra storage later on but Windows did not recognise it. Somehow in disk management I thought I'd actually managed to add the additional SSD and it showed up as (E) as having only 500MB of space (the drive is actually a samsung EVO 850 500GB model).
After removing that drive and booting up again, the E drive is still showing. I've realised now that I've actually created an additional partition.
So now I have Disk 0 and CD Rom 0.
Disk 0 reads as Games Disk (E) with 500MB and (C) with however much space it had to begin with. Both are NTFS.
This is annoying me, not only because my new SSD wasn't showing up but because I have an annoying partition that shows up in explorer like a regular drive. How can I remove that annoying new partition?
What should I do? I've tried formatting the new partition and windows refuses to do it. I'm running Windows 10 Home. It's the full retail version, not OEM. Should I just do a clean reinstall again, wipe it all off and be more careful next time? I've not done much with the system since I started it up in the last hour or so

yeah just re install it again and you may want to check of the ass isn't faulty in anyway (can't put files on it/can't take files off it)

What do you mean by ass? You mean ssd?
How would I check that? and if it's faulty can I send it off to the manufacturer and get it replaced?

refund it if you still have the receipt and ask if you can test a new SSD or the same one in-store if you bought it online ur screwed

I couldn't even pick it up in disk management where it should have shown up as unallocated data or something
>>
>>55655156
don'r know if I can get another one for testing. It was the last one in the shop. I'm sure it's fine, I just fucked up somewhere
>>
>>55655189
try re installing it and formatting the drive, if it won't format, the drive may be fucked up somehow

Let me reclarify something.
the drive I'm using as a boot drive is fine but has a stupid additional partition.
I can't format the other 500gb drive if it doesn't even show up in disk management. so is it fucked or am I just not looking hard enough?
>>
>>55655241
the only way of deleting partition I know of is I'm the windows installation, sorry if I'm not that much of a help, generally if you can't format a drive it's usually fucked

Right click on the Start menu
Select Disk Management.
Right-click on the drive letter you want to delete and select Delete Volume.
The partition will be deleted and the new free space will be unallocated.
you can't delete SYSTEM partitions as they are protected
1 minute of google

Just delete the partition and create a new one using the entire disk this time clown, wtf?
>>
>>55655284
I'm back up. I can still see the 500MB partition in disk management but it's unallocated so it's not showing up as another drive. So I won't tempt it again. I'm leaving that alone.
I'm just left with finding out how to get the additional drive to be recognised.
