Hi,

So I was trying to make a partition of my C drive, and I couldn't do it, so I just used a software called EaseUS Partition Master. So when I was using the software, I tried to partition my C drive, and it asked me to restart the system during the process, when my system continued, it went into a boot or something like a black screen appeared, and then after that, when my laptop started, and I logged in, and I checked that I saw a system (Z) and I also saw a new volume D. When I click on this system Z drive it says I cannot have access to this folder or drive so right now my concern is I am afraid that it's annoying and like what's the solution what I can do to remove it or if there is anything that I can do to #undo what I did like I just want my system to get back to it's initial or beginner stage. Please help what to do

EaseUS assigned the Z to the recovery partition or whatever partition is at the end of the disk.  HP has an "hp tools" partition that has backups of bios.  Maybe that is the new Z drive.

 

You can hide it several ways but do not delete the partition.  How to hide is actually explained on the EasyUS page

Option 1 removes the drive letter.  Hopefully when you reboot it will not show back up.
