Can reserved system defragment?

Running Windows 7.  I have a question about defragmentation. First of all, no problem of claning and Defrag the C drive.  Second, I noticed that 5% is fragmented "System Reserved".  My system won't let me analyze or defrag from this area.  Why does it shows 5%
fragmented?  Should I leave it alone, or is there a way to defragment this area?

Thank you.

Don't worry about the reserved area.  It is not a problem that you may not defragment.  It will not degrade the performance of your system. Bob Larson Access MVP

    Reserve system is at 17% fragnented... Can I defragment?

    Hello

    What version of the operating system you are using on the computer?

    You can leave the box reserved only system. System reserved partition contains startup files and is not used when Windows starts.  There is no need to Defrag. It will not degrade the performance of your system. Disk Manager does not allow you to delete this partition because they remove this partition could force the system to no boot. System reserve partition can also mean where the operating system is installed on. It may be the C: drive as well.

  • Removal of the reserve system and PQSERVICE during the clean reinstall of Windows 7

    IM about to format my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 using the windows 7 CD that I bought. I see a number of partitions:

    Disk 0 partition 1: PQSERVICE

    Disk 0 partition 2: System reserves

    Disk 0 partition 3: Acer

    Disk 0 partition 4: DATA

    I would like to reinstall also costs as possible

    Can I delete Disk 0 Partition 1: PQSERVICE and Disk 0 partition 2: RESERVE SYSTEM

    I think PQSERVICE provides stuff like the drivers for my ACER desktop computer requires. However I already downloaded the ACER site using my serial number. I'm more concerned about the reserve of the system parition.

    I got response would be much appreciated. I'm not to make a terrible mistake.

    Thank you

    your PC had no any CD to re - install because it is inside the PQSERVICE partition, you must make the CD yourself using Acer erecovery tool.

    without PQSERVICE and create this partition with Acer erecovery CD/DVDs you will not be able to restore factory default.

    If you don't want or need it, simply clear all the HARD drive and go with a simple installation of windows 7, PQSERVICE and system restore are not needed, the system restore is not created from the new facility.

    The drivers are downloadable as you have already found.

    Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

    No, you can't downgrade. But you can probably * clean install * Windows XP.

    I say "probably" because there is a potential problem with drivers XP being available for all hardware. If the computer is a laptop, this risk is greater. So check with the manufacturer or on their web site to make sure that all the drivers you need do not exist for XP.

    Perform a system restore and then try to install each updates manually one by one. Each time that you install the update, restart the computer. Take note of the update that is causing the problem and let us know. We will be in a better place to help you if we know the exact update which is causing the problem.

    To run the system restore

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next

    4. click on finish

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  • SP3 update: now I can't system upward!

    I ran this update SP3.  Now, my system does not start - even in SafeMode!  I have recovery self-made discs (2).  I can restore my system without losing the Post Microsift Office factory (installed)?

    OK, so I found the solution!

    Apparently, it's a recurring problem with HP computers when updated to the service pack SP3.

    Although I don't have the exact message listed in this article, it was close enough to give it a try.  Success.  Note: I had to go to step 2 of the process.

  • Partition reserved system and several versions of Windows

    Separated from this thread.

    I noticed that later "versions" of windows 7 (Pro), instead of a 100 GB partition, build a 357 MB system reserved partition. This is also the case for all / most new systems that we receive with Win 7 Pro preinstalled where I work (part-time).

    This is also the case with the refurbished Dell OptiPlex 980 I bought last fall. It came with a 350 GB hard drive, the system reserved Partition was / is 357 Mb.

    After cloning partitions of windows 7 to a 750 GB hard drive and the narrowing of the Win 7 Pro ("C") 152,49 GB partition I installed Windows Pro 8.1 in its own partition in the GB 545,79 remaining.

    Windows 8.1 installed correctly, without any problem, using the system partition reserved 357 existing Mo created by windows 7. All major worked from the go and are still working fine today.

    I noticed that when I start to Win 7 Pro, & assigns the drive letter "D" to the partition Win 8.1 Pro and Win 8.1 Pro did the same thing with the partition Win 7 Pro. Of course, the boot partition must be 'C '. Apparently, modern operating systems are "smart enough" to recognize this and make the appropriate drive letter reassignments.

    Another note, I have two older systems Dell OptiPlex 620 (the two 32-bit) provided with Windows XP Pro installed. On the same Machine, after the "C" shrinking Windows XP to 25 GB Partition, I installed Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) on the remaining 207 GB. On the second machine, I shrunk Windows XP Pro 60 GB and installed Win 7 Pro on the 125 GB remaining. All of the work so far is fine.

    Windows 7 Pro did not build a Reserved Partition system on each computer (Opti-630). I'm assuming it uses the Win XP partitions on them. However, if I remember correctly, Bitlocker is not available in 32-bit versions, so reserved partition is not necessary. Perhaps the other files normally placed in this score are in a "special feature" in Win XP partition?

    Norm Ives

    Norman,

    There is some legacy features that are present in all versions of Windows, even Windows 10. One of them is the label C partition to the HARD drive partition where Windows is installed. At the time, when MS-DOS was in use and Windows 1.0, Windows was available as an add-on to the only existing MS-DOS and Windows cannot be installed directly without MS-DOS. Meanwhile, there were two present floppy drives, 'A' and 'B '. 'A' has the files of an operating system and 'B' is the disk storage for user files. So when the HARD drive came, it was the label 'C '. When Windows 3.1 came out, it was a huge plant at this time that it required a HARD drive for installation. The C label was added to HARD drive so HARD drive added. This legacy is maintained to this day. So you see what Windows installation, the installed Windows partition will be labeled as C only. It is also the reason why, every time that you add a floppy drive, the automatically assigned driver letter is or B and nothing else.

    Coming to the system reserved partition, it contains the boot files needed to start Windows (and also of BitLocker data, if any), but present in the Windows version where BitLocker is not present (as in the case of Windows 7 Home Premium). Up to Windows XP, the boot settings were managed by a file by the name boot.ini, present in C:\ (at the root of C:\). Then when you upgrading or switching from Windows XP, and that no unformatted partition is available, this means that a new partition cannot be created. In this case, the boot files will be will deposit in the Windows installation partition only. So system reserved partition will be created during the new installation of Windows Vista or later, but if upgraded from Windows XP, startup files will be deposit in the installed Windows partition only.
