Then providing some information about your computer specifications, brand and model number, version of Windows, and if the computer came with those other drives factory installed and configured, or not, would help move things alone.This is quite urgent
Without knowing if you made any hardware (specifically hard drive) additions since new, or not, I can only say, "maybe".
Physically remove or unplug them. Of course, that assumes they are really drives, and not just 3 partitions on 1 drive.how can i make it so the other two drives dont get wiped?
Also, please understand we are all volunteers here. No one is payed to be "on-duty" for instant responses.

Okay, sorry about that mess or questions and requests for help, I've figured out what the real problem is. Originally I was going to restore my laptop cause i thought the network adapter was bugged, since i'm constantly getting very high ping in every single game I play. but I see its not my computer its my internet/network its something, but im going to guess its one of those, So i guess im asking now, how do i fix this really high ping? It only started this month. My upload speed is 11mbps and my upload is like 1mbps.

And we still know nothing of your computer or version of Windows, how you connect, what speeds you pay for (11 is good!) - unless you pay for 20.
Have you scanned for malware? Do other computers on your network have problems?

Its an Asus G5J1, gaming laptop, runs windows 7, intel i7, and googling i think will bring up the other specs. Im not to sure about them. I connect through wifi to my dlink DIR 601 router, shaw communications ISP and here is my speed test.

Well, I am sorry we still are not in sync here. It really is up to you to help us, help you - especially if this is really urgent - and you can do by providing the information asked for.
So I ask once more, did your computer come from the factory with your current drive configuration?
Have you scanned for malware?
Do other computers on your network have problems?
What speeds are you paying for?

Note my speedtest above has better download and upload speeds, but my ping time is twice yours.
