After reformating my pc, i went into my computer to find 3 hard drives rather than my usual 2. I have 2 200GB hard drives usualy, but an extra one has been added called C: which is 6GB. Yet this doesnt exist as hardware.
How can i get rid of this?

Yes, its the default hard drive where my documents are and things. Its realy iritating being that its only 6 GB. If i cant get rid of it, can i change a different hard drive to be the primary hard drive?

No, the windows folder is on my other hard drive. This new hard drive was created when i restored my computer and has a few files that were copied from before i restored it.

Type diskmgmt.msc (and hit return) in the Start --> run box.
Have you got just one physical drive? How are your drives named? Which drive letter is in the shaded area (system)?

I have 2 physical drives. This new hard drive seems to be created in one of my physical ones. It looks like it might of taken out 6gb and created its own hard drive. Is there anyway to set one of my physical hard drives to be the default hard drive where all the main documents are?
