disk management - windows 7
Hi,
If this is a simple question, apologise me.
When i got to the disk management of the laptop computer (windows 7) it shows 3 disks . Disk 1- 500gb , disk 2- 250 gb and disk 3- 50mb
Does it mean my computer has 3 separate hard disks inside or does it mean any other meaning? ?
thanks guys

No. In a modern computer: Main partition, UEFI Boot Partition, and Recovery partition. All ONE disk and all normal setup. Just use your main partition (C:)

Hi thanks for your response.
Like in your attached pic, it shows as disk 1 under disk 0
And disk 2 under disk 1
Like 3 rows with disk 0,1,2

if you are sure that it shows what exactly you posted above then that means every Disk is a Hard disk. and you have 3 Hard disk attached to your PC.
Are you sure it is not something like this ? Disk 0 partition1, Disk 0 partition 2, and Disk 0 partition3.
in this picture all Partitions are located in one hard Disk 0.
Please go into Disk Management, make a screen shot and post back. That will help me with your description

This is not the exact computer am talking about. but something similar to this.
I am clear. "every disk number is a hard disk" thank you
one more question,
is it possible to extend the disk space for disk 1 from disk 0 ? i mean in my pic, disk 1 has only 7gb, if i want to extend my disk , is it possible to take space from disk 0 and add it to disk 1 ?
Something or someone has added a disk or volume. If a hard disk, remove it. If it somehow is a partition, you would need a partitioning tool to combine partitions.
Is one drive an added SSD Drive?

No. that is not possible.
Between disks of course not unless one is dynamic.
You cannot expand one HDD from another HDD but you can create a junction point in one HDD to link to a folder in another HDD.

i suppose it is not a recent system.
in the past, some manufacturers installed a fast, small boot SSD for the OS and another rotating disk drive for the rest
these were typical 8-64 GB in size
***why not post sceenshots? much easier than pictures, and Always sharp - use the windows snipping tool from accessories
