[QUOTE="mickwig, post: 983238, member: 401397"] Yes Topper, better not to tinkr. Your system is most likely to be Windows 8 or upards. You are booting in GPT mode (see screen shot) not MBR. Your PC not using BIO to boot but the more modern EFI/UEFI. It means, that whe booting, one or more special partitions on te hard disk are read when booting. That is the EFI partition. If you delete it, the PC might not be able to start again. The rest is your c-drive and recovery. The sony partition is probably used when recovering the system for dedicated sony notebook software. The other unused partition, which are only a few kb, are leftovers since the partition sizes are always multiples of 8 like with RAM. [/QUOTE]
