    How to disappear the Z partition in "This PC"

    Hi Disal,

    To delete the Z: drive partition, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows Key + R. Type diskmgmt.msc, then hit
      Enter.
    • Right-click on the partition, then select Delete Volume to delete a partition.

    Note: This option deletes every single file on the partition, please be careful when using it.

    We also suggest running Microsoft Safety Scanner to scan and protect your computer from any viruses.

    Update us with the result.

    Anyone have any ideas as to how I can stop this?
    Thank you.

    Partition or multiple hard drives?

    As the title suggests. Is it worth installing say a 36GB drive for the OS soley or partitioning an existing larger drive with either 2 or more partitions? I am currently running Vista 32bit and want to try out 64bit and am sick of reformatting the whole drive. Any suggestions?
