New PC - Hard drive and Partition Issue

[Karnivore]

So I got my new PC with a 2TB HDD, though I had an SSD which I put in before I turned it on.

I installed Windows 8.1 and have been going on my merry way, but i've just noticed i'm missing 2GB off my new storage drive.

It looks like PCS have installed something on there so it has a recovery partition, an EFI System partition and an OEM partition.



I can't remove them, and Windows is on my C drive. Is there a way to delete that and gain my extra space on my new drive? I'm more concerned about that EFI system partition, can that be deleted or does it need to be moved?... and how?

Thanks

You're not missing 2GB from your 2TB drive. The space reporting tools assume a kB is 1000 bytes when in fact it's actually 1024 bytes. Thus the reported disk space always appears to be smaller than the actual capacity.

Don't remove those tiny partitions (They only consume a few hundred megabytes) and you really want to keep the recovery partition - just in case.
