Hello, I have a MSI GS60 laptop and recently, I formatted my drives to install fresh new Windows 10. Installation went fine but now, when I go to Disk Management, I see way too many partitions which I can't even merge them. Also, my disk D is not even getting recognized. I would appreciate any help please.

This is how it looks:

ok you need to sort the drives so that all the unallocated space is next to each other by deleting the partitions. it looks like youll have enough space on each drive to copy over any data files that are on the actiuve partitions before you delete them. once youve got a nice row of unallocated blocks you can merge them all into a new volume.

do one disk at a time, start with the second one. see all those little blue partitions with 450MB in? if they have files you need in them go to my computer and copy them all over to the first drive (anywhere, it doesnt matter).

Once you have copied all the files you need, right click on the blue blocks and 'delete partition', you will see them merge into the black 'unallocated space' next to them. once youve done all of this for the disk you can create a single new volume from all the unallocated space.
