I Don't know if its normal. Do you have any external drives connected? if not then it may be a drive partition. to check if it is right click on the start menu and click disk management (or just search for it in the start menu). Look to see if System(f:) is there. It will look similar to this screenshot

Is it from Dell, HP, or another company? Is it pre-built? Or did you build it?

i cant find it.

You can use "diskpart" to get rid of it. I wouldn't trust an unknown drive.

Win + R

"cmd"

"diskpart"

"list disk"

"select disk #" This will likely be Disk 0 but check before selecting it.

No. We're going to delete the F: partition. If that's what you want.

"list partition"

Find the partition that is 96MB.

"select partition #"

Make sure you're selecting the correct partition.

"delete partition"

The 100MB is part of your OS. Can you run Malwarebytes?
