Windows 10: local disk f

This looks like the F: drive is the EFI partition having a size of 300MB. Open Admin Command (Win+X->Command Prompt (Admin)) and type:
diskpart
select disk 0
list partition =====> take a note of the partition # having 300MB. My guess is partition 2
select partition # =====> replace # with the number in step above
remove =====> remove the drive letter
exit

This should remove the drive letter and won't show up in "This PC"

P.S do not delete this partition, you won't be able to boot.

 

badcrc,

Could you also expand Desktop-GSJ6VAU under Network
and select Desktop-GSJ6VAU to display objects associated with it in the right hand pane

What happens if you turn off or disconnect the network printer - does the F: drive get removed from the navigation pane?

Thanks

topgun,

There's no F: letter in Disk Mgmt




But let's see what disk part shows.

 

@Slartybart
Same thing happened here, read post #4:
Solved Hide system partition that shows in explorer but NOT disk management - Windows 10 Forums

FYI,
If you use Mini Tool Partition manager and assign a letter to one of these hidden patitions, you'll get the same situation ie. it will show in File Explorer but not in Disk Management.

 

After looking closer at the highlighted portion [denoted by cross-hatching] of 400MB I still think it's a Partition on the only HDD and that letter that looks like it could be F is only part of the actual data, doesn't seem to showing everything there. There is no second drive showing in that report. This is mine with Drive C: highlighted which is the main partition on the HDD:



Note there is a Disk 3 without a letter, it's not been assigned a drive letter yet even though it is partitioned and formatted, it is plugged into a Thermaltake BlacX USB 3.0 box ready to be used for an upcoming project. It helps to Maximize the Disk Management panel and adjust the columns to get full view of the information.

 

Interesting - thanks Dino
