Hi,

It is a GPT Protective Partition.
Search what it is and how to get rid off it.
The explanation is on the EaseUS web site.

Ciao, Han

Ok, I just googled for it and found the EaseUS thing explaining what it was.
But surely it could be done directly in Command Prompt.
After EaseUS is just another GUI.

there's nothing to

Should make a backup image of their system and have bootable media for said imaging program before messing around with diskpart.
