The controller board in the external drive makes windows think that there are two physical drives,
not just one drive with two partitions.
If you your operating system is Windows 7 or newer then you can change the mode of the external
drive to be a single drive. The software is located on the drive itself. Make sure you copy all the
software from the external drive to your local hard drive because changing modes will completely
erase everything that is store on the external drive.

that the drive will be earased during this process.
When you tick the box, the change mode button will appear.
Click on change mode and allow the process to begin.
