    How can I determine which drive a partition is on?

    I have 4 physical hard drives in my PC. Due to some partitioning I have done, I have 5 drives that show up in Windows.

    From within Windows, how can I decipher which physical drive that each partition is on?

    I am ready to install a new SSD with Windows and I need to know which hard drive currently contains Windows (the "C" drive) so that I can redo my partitions.

    Was going to say the same, though I go there straight by running compmgmt.msc

    You can get even faster by running diskmgmt.msc.
