Could be a virus. Could be some plugged device (USB-flash drive, phone, something else with SD card memory, etc.).
Ian Young
ya , just checked all my usb ports and its not that unfortunately. looking more and more like a virus but scanning it reveals nothing , the data on whatever it is : is 46.3 MB free of 96 MB. has anyone seen something like this? its just called SYSTEM (H:)

Did the total memory volume on your PC change?
Upload the image (PrintScreen) of the data (including hidden files) on that disk.
Ethan Fisher
Did your copy of windows recently update?
There was an update for me that created a hard drive volume that was a few hundred megabytes.

>Did the total memory volume on your PC change?
i guess technically yes because there is a whole new drive there bu also no because i cant access it . says i dont have permisssion

Run diskmgmt.msc & see WTF is that.

Take a look at this real quick and tell me if it looks similar to your situation.
Brandon Perry
weird i ran diskmgmt.msc and i cant even find it, seems i can only see it in file explorer.
it doesnt look like this but could be related my main hard drive is basically full.
Xavier Sanders
dafug.
Can you post a screenshot of your diskmgmt output?
Adam Clark
i hope this worked , is this even what you wanted?
Cameron Garcia
K, now a screenshot of the properties window from right-clicking the offending drive in explorer.

Shamelessly stole this. Pliss run following commands in prompt.
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
list volume
Copy and Post the output. You can click on the icon on the menu bar. Click Edit > Select All. Then Edit > Copy

screenshots make this so much easier

Ok, suspicions confirmed.
Your system partition has become unhidden.
Why? I don't know. I wouldn't rule out viruses.
Run
mountvol H:\ /D
in elevated command prompt.
Jaxson Thompson
Is that it?
Why do you even have those shady areas (100 & 828 MB)? For viruses? Kill 'em all.
Chase Peterson
That is your boot partition iirc.
Your OS needs it to live.
It isn't unreasonable to think that something could tamper with it to load code as your OS is booting, thus undermining your Antivirus software.
Anywho, did the command from hide the drive in explorer?
Jace Green
for some reason i cant make \ symbol in command prompt
Austin Martinez
follow the keys
qwertyuiop[]\
or just copypasta the command
Carter Jackson
it goes qwertyuiop[] then enter key , are you fucking with me?
Andrew Gonzalez
He's not. That command sets the computer to wumbo
Isaiah Scott
I can type it just fine
Grayson Turner
it should be asdfghjkl;'\ but \ just makes a weird Y symbol
Jose Johnson
Fucking hell, this is gonna be roundabout, but do you have a number pad on your keyboard? If so, you can hold alt and type 92 on the numpad and it will type a \
Jonathan Lewis
dident work.... just made the same Y symbol
Thomas Garcia
Can you type the Y symbol here? Is it a ¥?
Jace Thomas
ya its a ¥ , is this because i Japanese locale?
Wyatt Cook
Yep.
Nicholas Perez
i need that for naughty things
Benjamin Walker
Just copy pasta the command then
Alexander Richardson
even if i copt the prompt the \ changed to ¥ when i paste it in.
Ryan King
One guy's fix:
>For Windows command-prompt, I edited the desktop command-prompt shortcut. Right-click the icon, Properties, Options tab, check "Legacy Console". This worked like magic for me on a Windows 10 64-bit PC.
Jacob Diaz
dident work , hey do you have any guesses as to what system (H:) is? i dont want to factory reset if my computers fucked i just got a lot of stuff in order
Eli Lopez
Like I said, a system partition that is normally hidden has become visible for some reason.
No immediate reason that I can see to have to reset anything.
Just ignore it.
Jaxson Foster
Just leave the ¥, it works as a \ on Japanese locale, see pic related
Landon Lee
so in this case the locale merely affects the way in which the characters are displayed? Interesting.
Mason Scott
smart

How about stop watching poo in loo muttahar and his typical Indian tier shit poor advice on how to use the deeb web and instead, do better research next time on how to safely use that place.
David Miller
oh i was jokeing about "dank web" i dident mean dark web i just meant general internet fuckery i haven't been on the dark web
Julian Butler
Alright. Well, anyway, it sounds like a dumb partition the system accidently made.
