Ivecout a hard drive out of a knackered laptop in an enclosure to use as a portable one, I've formatted it but noticed when I plug it in it shows as F and G, one of which was an 11.5gb partition for recovery the other was 137gb of programme files and c drive etc.
How do I get it to just show as one drive?

Computer management, delete both partitions, create a new partition.

You will lose all data doing this.
