Ninjakreborn Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 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?
