    Hello. I'm from Argentina.

    Recently, I've acquired a Lenovo Y50. On system setup, it came with A LOT of bloatware. For that reason, I deleted the OS (my mistake: no backup whatsoever), and re installed windows 8 from a version I previously had, so I lost the 8 GB SSD partition from the Hybrid HDD.

    The drive is the wd10s21x-24r1bt0-sshd-8gb, but after a very long time searching (and re installing the drivers of the HDD), for the solution....is that I come to the ones who know, for a resolution of this problem.

    I'm sorry for my bad english, I hope you can help me with this issue.

    Thanks in advance.-

    First off, welcome to Notebook Review :)

    1. I wouldn't say "deleting the OS" was a mistake - at least you got rid of all the bloat, and nothing beats a plain Windows installation. (IMO)

    2. It is not possible to "lose" the 8GB SSD partition on your Hybrid HDD. The 8GB of flash memory on the SSHD (hybrid HDD) is reserved for use by the drive's firmware, and cannot be used or partitioned by the OS.

    3. By formatting the drive completely, I am sure you lost other partitions in the process, which you seem to be getting confused with.

    4. Perhaps adding a screenshot of Disk Management would help tell us better what's going on, if you are interested to know.
