    Hi NBR.

    I just got my Y570 with 750GB HDD and 64GB SSD.

    The problem is that I found that the OS is installed on the HDD. And the disk drives are not organized. I don't know what to do. Should I reinstall the OS on the SSD or what ?

    Your C drive looks fine. I don't know what you mean by "drives are not organized".

    The SSD is not fully recognized. It's 64GB.
    The OS is installed on the HDD. I think it should be installed on the SSD.

    You need to initialize the SSD in "control panel -> administrative tools -> computer management". Then click on storage on the right to drop down and click on disk management. You'll see your SSD in black. right click it and initialize it.

    Then you'll be able to see it.

    You have RapidDrive enabled. Your 64GB SSD and 750GB SATA are combined into that single C drive.
