Are my Hard Drives set up correctly ???

Have had this new comp about 10 days. I am having a tough time with application dumps to desktop, complete system freezes, and system dumps to blue screen and am currently waiting for for replacement memory (I don't think that's the problem) but we'll see.

 

My specs are below but my questions is:

 

My drives are labeled in Windows Explorer and System Information as:

 

1. OS(C) 92.2 GB free of 138 GB   ..... Drive C

 

2. DATAPART1(D) 298 GB free of 298 GB ..... Drive D ..... why is nothing shown on it?

 

3. RECOVERY(E) 5.02 GB free of 9.99 GB ..... Drive E

 

Is there a reason it shows like this (some Raid 0 quirk)? Is it an incorrect setup of my hard drives? Does this mean Drive D hard drive isn't working? Still searching for some answers and just want to make sure this is legit and I don't understand it because I am a NOOB :smileywink:

 

Thanks in advance

Bill

Dell XPS tech support answered the question .... that is the way Drive D in Raid 0 configuration shows up. Working correctly and showing the way it is supposed to.
