Windows 10: DRIVE ? in disk defragmented after clean install

how to deleted a drive ?? please help

:)

 

Microsoft Drive Optimizer mistakenly lists SATA hard disk drive as SSD and will not defragment the drive

It sure looks like a Windows 10 bug. The OS knows it is a SATA disk drive but the disk properties > defrag shows it as SDD which is wrong. The only problem this has caused is not being able to run Windows defrag on the disk. So - I downloaded a FREE defrag
program and run it to clean up the disk.

I suggest using either of these 2 defrag programs:

Computer turned REALLY SLOW after unplugging AC cord from wall (AC FROM POWER SUPPLY

If there was no OS on the internal hard drive then it doesn't need to be cleaned or reformatted unless you want it to be. If you tested it with the maker's Diagnostics and

Disk Check then it should be OK. You should also test the SSD with both tests to be sure of its condition if you suspect drive problems.

After install Maintenance will check the disks and do necessary trimming on SSD and defrag on hard drive. Never defrag an SSD. But this is all automated in WIndows 10 anyway.

 

Hi Adityar,

It shows all partitions on your SSD and HDD, you don't want to delete 'RECOVERY' or '\\?\Volume{...', the second is the partition that makes your system bootable.

 

Are you have a ? Volume in disk defrag?

 

Hey Adityar,
I had a couple \?\Volume in disk defrag and I found that it was due to not having a Label on the given partition(s). Mine turned out to be my EFI System and Recovery partitions and I had to use MiniTool Partition Wizard (Free) to give each of them a Label, so I would know what they were.

 

I do - it's my Recovery partition.

 

It's my EFI partition.

 

You never need to defrag static hidden drives.

 

thank you for the information and help. how to label default to that drive?

 

thank you I was a little calm after knowing it. I did some clean install to solve it. but I already have recovery partition. and what drives do I have \? \\ because it looks like drive recovery on the disk defrag list
? Sorry for my bad english

As mentioned above. If a partition does not have a mount point or no label. The volume GUID is displayed instead. To mount the EFI System partiton, open Admin Command Prompt and type:

• mountvol U:\ /S ==> this will assign a drive letter U: to the EFI partition.
• label U: XXX ===> Will label the partition with the string "XXX"

The screen now shows:




To revert back:

• label U: ===> hit <ENTER>->Y to Remove the label
• mountvol U:\ /D ===> unmount drive U: from EFI partition

NOTE: Use the command mountvol with no argument will list all the mount points and drive letters
