    I can't tell you much but I can tell you that if you disable or reset your disks will be formatted.

    Ah...hahahah ok, so glad i just got out of there now. on boot up, it says 2 hard drives 476gb each...in windows one says 500 one says 366. might just back everything up and delete everything all partitions off there see what im left with.

    thanks for reading and answering my post.

    On MSI Notebooks the Entire drives(s) are split into two partitions by default. One for the OS_Install and the other DATA. If you enter disk management you can delete the data partition (make sure you do not have anything important there) and then expand the primary partition and allocate all the available disk space on the one partition.
