I have a C drive and H drive, what is H?
Question
I have a C drive and H drive, what is H?
Answer
The hard drive within your computer is compressed. Compressing a computer hard drive allows you to get more information on a drive, yet at the same time requires an area (known as H partition) to be created for files that will not work while compressed (H drive being the portion of the hard drive that is not compressed).
Can I remove H safely?
Unfortunately, compressing the hard drive is usually permanent. While it is said that it can be un-compressed, it usually creates more issues if attempted. If you wish to only have a C: drive or if you are running into issues with your hard drive compressed we recommend you erase your computer and start over.
