So I've got an odd situation here. Windows 7.
I have a disk that thinks it's an OS disk but I never installed an OS on it. However windows won't let me format it and insists that I include it in any system backups.
The current setup I have is.
Now the issue is that when I boot to the new Win 7 using #1, then #3 is considered a system drive and I can't format it. When I boot up to #2 then #4 is considered a system drive and required when creating a system recovery, but #3 is not visible to the OS.
This is the view from #1
