    It looks like you could use Macrium to make an image of all partitions on disk 2 and then restore that image to disk 1. It will fit---disk 1 has a capacity of 224 GB and you have less than 130 occupied on disk 2.

    Disk 1 would then include the C partition.

    You would lose whatever is now on disk 1 if not otherwise backed up.

    If you plan to add multiple partitions in the future another consideration is whether or not to convert mbr to gpt before restoring the image.

    I mean you can make an image file of all 3 partitions on Disk 2 using Macrium. That file will be large and will have an .mrimg extension. You would have to save it on some other drive, possibly an external.

    In a second step, you would then restore that Macrium image file to Disk 1.

    You could then boot from Disk 1 because it will then be the equivalent of your current Disk 2.

    You could then do as you wish with Disk 2.

    Disk 1 doesn't appear to be large enough to hold both the current E and all 3 partitions now on Disk 2.

    If you need to save what is now on E, you should separately copy it to some other drive, probably external.

    If you do not have an external to store the large image file, the situation is more complicated, but still probably doable.

    Check the BIOS to confirm boot options: Legacy, UEFI, with / without CSM etc.

    To turn off RAID launch IRST > disable acceleration

    The SSD can be cleaned using diskpart: clean

    administrative command prompt or powershell

    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk # <- use the disk number for the drive to clean
    clean <- this will erase the drive

    You can't wipe the drive if you are booted from the same drive.

    But you can boot in some other way and then use the clean command.

    BE CERTAIN you have chosen the correct drive in Diskpart.
