So my friend installed a copy of Windows 7, but I am a bit confused as to whats going on. He got an 120gb SSD to install the OS on, and a 1TB seagate to put other stuff on, but it somehow got to 3 disk spaces and now he can't access the TB of storage from "computer management-storage" or from My computer. It does show up on the installation menu and computer storage menu. Is there someway I can combine the partitions back and install windows on the SSD? I'm not sure if I should go any further.

Here is a screenshot:

You most likely can't repartition most of that because that picture shows the 1TB hd listed as disk 0 which is unallocated space.

The second partition looks like it's from the 3rd one, which is stated as system reserved space. The third one is the usable space of the SSD.

How to get the 1TB space to be usable, i'm not sure about that part. But I would probably check to see if the BIOS detects it.
