So I ended up using Diskpart to get rid of the EFI partition, it worked without issue.
I'm thinking the EFI partition was a remnant of when i was using the SSD as a boot drive on my intel MacPro...:hmm:
Thanks for your help, all.
Not at my PC right now, but the disk showed up as 2 partitions in Disk Management after I installed it, and when I reformatted the disk, I still couldn't get rid of the EFI (when I right click on the EFI partition, all the menu is grey out, so I can't delete it).
Could this be due to the fact...
Cool, thanks.
I guess the best way to get rid of it is to use the command prompt "diskpart"?
as in:
list disk<enter>
select disk ?<enter> ?=disk number the 200mb part is on
clean<enter>
or is there some other way to do it? Disk management won't let me do it.
I've done my share of searching, but nothing matches my situation...
I just threw in my 80 gig Gen 1 Intel X25 into my Win 7 64 box, to be used as a data drive (it was previously used as a boot drive in my Mac Pro).
After formatting, I noticed that it has an EFI partition of 200 megs...
