Windows 7, Delete Harddrive

Recommended Posts

I ran something called....Windows Loader, accidentally. I think that's what it was called.  Either way, it did something to my computer. I have an Alienware MX17. 

I have my C drive, but it added some empty drive into my system called "Q" or something.  It's the Q drive. There is nothing in it, and it takes up no memory.  What happened is I accidentally used this Windows Loader to install an illegal copy of Windows 7.  So i fixed that by re-entering in my original key.  Once all of that was

working, that extra drive has been there ever since. My original C Drive, Laptop, all programs and everything else still works just like it always originally did. 

 

I am just wondering now how to get rid of that stupid Q drive.

Run (WinKey+R) "diskmgmt.msc". Find the Q drive in there - it's likely a partition of a disk, and likely the same disk that has C:. You can remove the drive letter association (essentially hiding it) or delete the volume (actually removing the partition).

 

Are you sure it has 0 bytes total? Not, say, 0 bytes unused?
