I was chillen one day and all of the sudden i noticed a new partition on my HDD. I know the other one is there, it was on there since the day i got it. The other partition just popped up out of nowhere on day.

I scanned it 2 times with AVG 8, and nothing came up, virus wise, but i am still skeptical.

And input?

Do you have hidden files shown right now, because it says 300mb of the partition is being used. If there's nothing in there, I would delete it and hope it's not used by your system.

I have that on my computer.  If I remember correctly, it's there for recovery purposes and whatnot (like if you fuck up your computer, and restore it).  Don't put shit in there.

easy way to find out, (I doubt there is one, video cards only hav ram, not hard drives)..... Anyway. Right click on my computer, then manage, then on the left side hit disk management. Then the bottom thing will show you how many phisical disks you have, and what the partition table of those disk is. !!!WARNING!!! DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING IN THERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!

I really have no idea but...Make sure none of your friends put an sd card in your computer. I don't think it would come up as a drive but like I said I don't really know...maybe a thumb drive or something...
