    I just restored my Blade 14 and after this, I now have a ~350 mb D drive next to the Razer Blade C drive.

    I wanted to hide it by removing the drive letter, but when going into Computer Management in Disk Management and right click the D drive, I only have the Help option, no Change Drive Letter and Paths...

    I wanted to know if there is another way of hiding a drive! It's really annoying having an useless drive in My Computer!

    You can also just delete that partition then merge it with your previous partition to the LEFT of it

    yeah, I know about that way, but that was no possible in my case. There were no options to handle the drive from within Windows

    Windows 9 will have 10 partitions sized with 450MB for SUEFI system + 3 recovery partitions. It won't boot without all them.:rolleyes2:
