However, there are other 4 strange partitions on my new laptop, most of which are even reported 100% free. Obviously I know what C: is, and D: contains a folder of drivers. Lenovo (D:) 25 GB NTFS Healthy (Primary partition) 89% free.Windows 8 OS (C:) 884.18 GB Healthy (Boot, Page file, Crash dump, Primary partition) 96% free.1000 MB Healthy (OEM partition) 100% free.260 MB Healthy (EFI System partition) 100% free.1000 MB Healthy ( Recovery partition) 100% free.However, in Disk Management I found the disk is already littered with partitions!
But disappointingly, most people do not know what these partitions are used, like the following man: I'm planning to partition the HDD on my new Lenovo Windows 8 laptop. In addition, installing Windows on the never used hard disk may also generate these partitions. Laptops running newer Windows OS, like Windows 8/8.1/10, are always coming with such strange partitions no matter which brand they are, Lenovo, HP, Samsung, or Dell.
