What is this mysterious extra HDD?
by grumpyskeptic from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HQCD)
Using Linux Mint Cinnamon Victoria and an OEM "B75 Ver 1.41" motherboard in an OEM case with an AMI "4.6.5 09/01/2021" BIOS.
My old Dell computer's motherboard stopped working so I bought a new OEM computer, as described above. I replaced the Windows10 OS with Linux Mint Cinnamon Victoria.
My old Dell computer had two hard drives, and I have put them in the new OEM computer, meaning it now has three HDDs. I have deleted the old Linux Mint operating system from the old Dell HDD, leaving just the folder with my files in it.
But the file manager appears to show that there is a mysterious extra very small HDD.
The unexpected fourth HDD has a capacity of 537 MB - mega-bytes not GB. The details copied from Properties are:
"Name: 1637-A672
Type: Folder (inode/directory)
Contents: nothing
Size: 0 bytes
Location: /media/username
Volume: 537 MB Volume
Modified: unknown
Free space: 535.8*MB"
"Filesystem type: msdos"
This small HDD can be mounted and unmounted independently of the other two extra HDD.
What is it? Where is it?
