I have recently built a fedora 20 system using UEFI. And by and

purposes and the UEFI based system is my first try of this type of
"BIOS".
I was very surprised to see the output from fdisk:

Typically, these systems come with a restore partition for Windows
(whatever the version). What I want to know is how many Windows
'drives' are listed when you boot it into Windows. It /looks/ like
it's got at least 2 'drives', a Windows drive (C:) and possibly a
'data' drive (D:?). Unless you can tell us what Disk Manager is
saying about the NTFS partitions I'm not sure how much help we can give.
There are no windows drives on the disk. First thing I did after getting the PC
was to format the disk.
(Unless, of course, you want to blow the whole thing away and start
over, then this is a non-issue.) I don't recall that many NTFS
partitions on the Lenovo systems, but I have one handy and will boot
it to see. (It's got a 500GB drive, fortunately.)
You can also mount the partitions read only and see what's on them.
Will do. It may be left over from previous testing in which case it is linux
drives. I thought though that anaconda had removed them. I'll have to wait,
right now it's running a lengthy benchmark.
