My friend gave sold me the hard drive from his sister laptop, I was planning on using it to store photos and such on it. When I docked it on my SATA dock originally 1 new hard drive showed up but given a few seconds 3 others showed up, labeled; System, Local, HP Tools, and Recovery. The Local drive doesn't show any information and when I right click on it explorer.exe freezes. None of them have more than a Gigabyte except for recovery, but when I click on it there is nothing shown within it. When I try to reformat any of them windows explorer freezes. I want to know what I can to do reformat the drive and eliminate all the other drives that show up. Thanks.
Thank you, I appreciate all the help, this has all worked so far, the only problem now though, is that it says that the hard drive only has 13 gigabytes of space, but it is actually 250 gb's
