Hi guys,

I have a Hyper-V generation 1 virtual machine with Windows Server 2012 R2 inside.

On the screenshot below you can see two disks (C and K).

vm 01 file explorer

However, K disk is not listed in VM settings, Disk Management and Diskpart.

vm 02 vm settings

vm 03 disk management

vm 04 diskpart

I don't know how it is possible and would be grateful if someone could help me out with it.

    Is there some history here? Device Manger or the disk contents them self may also provide some clues.

    I found that K drive is indeed C:\UserData but how exactly it was I don't know.
