Unknown partitions appearing after a system restore on Windows 8.1
Hey!
So, recently I decided to do a system restore on my Lenovo Y510P and used the recovery already present on the HDD after backing up all of my important things on a separate hard drive. After updating and then upgrading the default Win8 to 8.1, I shrinked the C drive by 80 GB to install Linux Mint which I did successfully. The issue that I'm having is the multiple other partitions that I don't remember seeing before I performed the system restore. This is an image of my Disk Management window: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y23x3w46tummbbo/partitions.PN...
The partitions I'm concerned about are the first three and the 450MB, 350MB, and 23.44GB partitions. The 18.63GB, 51.22GB, and 3.73GB partitions are the root, home, and swap partitions for my install of Linux mint.
So, I was wondering why these partitions are here and if/how I could get rid of them. Thanks for reading and for any help you could offer!
