New Drives showing

Thread needs solution

I have just installed the trial version of ATI 2016 on my Windows 10 Desktop, and I now have two extra drives showing in Drives and Devices. They are both named as Local Disk (F:) and (G:) and are 96.0MB and 15.9MBs. What are they for? Thanks for any help.

Have you activated Acronis Secure Zone and Non Stop Backup?  If so these are probably associated with them.

Open the Windows Disk management console and look at the listing as to where the letters are assigned.

These assignments may be to other partitions on your disk such as the recovery or boot partitions.

Show us a picture of how these letters are displayed in the disk management display.

Thank you for the reply. I haven't activated either of the two tools, so I am doubtful if those are the culprits.

Thank You for the reply. The strange part about these two drives is that they are not shown in the windows disc management console, and the values bear no resemblance to the recovery or boot partitions, or the disc designated letters. I can show you a picture if you think it would help, but here is what is shown.

1st partition is 450mb Healthy Recovery

2nd partition is 100mb Healthy EFI System Partition

3rd partition is 931.23mb Local Disc (C:) Healthy (Boot, Pagefile, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)

4th partition is 932.23mb Data (D:) Healthy (Sytstem, Active Primary Partition.)

Hope this helps, if not will supply any other details.

 

 

Update.

 

I have installed an earlier version, as a last resort, and it has cured my problem. 

Greatful thanks to the contributors to the problem.

Tony,

What that looks like is a standard GPT style partitioning which has been updated to Windows 10.

Some of those partitions exist but not viewable inside windows disk management.

Use DISKPART as per this illustration/link  and look at what it shows for partitions.

If you want to know more about the available diskpart commands, you can search Google.
