    I have a few questions about my hard drive, I have an asus g73jw-a1 it has 1tb of space. But when I check the stats it shows 4 different drives. I know it only has two physical ones though,normally I wouldn't mind but one of the drives turns everything blue when I put it in. It doesn't let me run programs from this drive so I can only dump files. So basically I just want to have it set so that It only shows 2 500gb drives. And my second problem just happened today, when I went to go check today it now only shows 3 drives :confused: :confused: :confused: . So Now I am wondering where the other one went. Any help would be appreciated.

    That sounds a bit Wanky....

    In a perfect world, you could wipe both drives and reformat it the way you want it if you have Raid support..
