Thank you.... I'll try some of the posted solutions.. I have plenty of space, almost 1TB, but I also have 4 small partitions... which I really don't need.. Thanks again!
Hi Sidney,
Your partitions look correct for an EFI machine, you need those, one small partition is not showing with disk management (MSR partition), you would need to use diskpart command to display that too, but I assume it will be correct (Either 16MB or 128MB depending on who created it).
UEFI/GPT-based hard drive partitions | Microsoft Docs
Note
For Advanced Format 4K Native drives (4-KB-per-sector) drives, the minimum size is 260 MB, due to a limitation of the FAT32 file format. The minimum partition size of FAT32 drives is calculated as sector size (4KB) x 65527 = 256 MB.
Advanced Format 512e drives are not affected by this limitation, because their emulated sector size is 512 bytes. 512 bytes x 65527 = 32 MB, which is less than the 100 MB minimum size for this partition.
Here is a sample of a UEFI machine:
DISKPART> select disk 0
Disk 0 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> list partition
Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 System 260 MB 1024 KB
Partition 2 Reserved 16 MB 261 MB
Partition 3 Primary 475 GB 277 MB
Partition 4 Recovery 1000 MB 475 GB
