This option is only available if more than one hard drive is installed in the computer. In the picture below, we have three hard drives listed in this computer. Disk 1 has two partitions, which are C: and D: The hard drive’s total space is 3 GB. Then Disk 2 has three partitions E:, F:, and G: and the hard drive total space is 6668, or 7 GB. In the picture below, there is also a Disk 3, an Iomega Zip drive hooked up to the IDE controller on the motherboard. However, this is not a hard drive and does not need to be fdisked, this is why 95 MB is free. An exception to this rule would be a CD-ROM.
