Solve : Weird seagate clone drive happening....?

Answer»

So i had cloned one hard drive ONTO another, and now instead of having it SAY I have just the one hard drive (the one i cloned from i took out), it says I have 2, even thought there is only one in there
theres local c: (which was already there) and local F:.... i found this quote and it is pretty good at explaining what happened to me:
"But now in My Computer I have 2 new Local Drives (E) and (F). My hard drive is C and CD-R is D, and now I have these 2 local drives. The first one is a FAT system and it contains a Dell folder and all files MDM files like "Dellsys.mdm and usbmass.mdm.. The 2nd one has a couple of folders. The folders are BAT" , "SRC1" , "SRC2" , "SRC3" , "SRC4" , "SRC5". Can someone TELL me what these Local disk are and are they HARMFUL to my computer?"

What could this possibly be?OK So i ended up finding a post on dell's forum about this problem.  Just in case this happens to somebody else, this is how you fix it:

Start, Run, cmd

type in Mountvol x:\ /d (where x is the letter of the new drive that is no longer hidden)

This happened to me when I cloned my drive, but others said it happened when they used Easy Creator 6.  This happened on dell computers btw.Sounds like the hidden Dell Recovery PARTITION to me...
The cloning operation probably picked it up and now it's no longer hidden...perfectly normal.
