Is it necessary to have Disk 0 Partition 1 system reserved?

Hi all

Is it necessary to have Disk 0 Partition 1 system reserved?

I'm not bothered all the 100 MB you need - there is nothing to me. But it removes a single partition, leaving me to settle for only 3 more to leave. I have a plan to install another OS in my system with Windows 7, it really frustrates my plan.

In fact, I want 2 partitions for Windows and for Linux 2. But Windows consumes 3 partitions (including for reserved system), leaving me finally with 1 single partition for Linux.

There are also a few ways mentioned elsewhere how to get rid of this partition 1 by extending it to a primary partition, but then there is no mention if that would be detrimental to my computer or at least start.

To answer these questions...

No you can remove it if necessary

First step 1, there is no way to simply delete this partition of 100MB in Windows 7; Simply reformat. So the first step is to back up your data and start the Windows 7 installation CD. (To boot from a CD, restart your computer, and normally it will be DEL, F12 or ESC key to select the CD-ROM drive and starts to him)
Step 2 once you're up to the screen of Windows 7, you need to select the option "repair your computer".
Step 3 next, you will need to select "Command Prompt".
Step 4 in command prompt we will reformat your hard drive in a certain way so the 2nd partition is not automatically created when you install Windows 7. Here are the commands:

DiskPart
List Disk (you may have more than one hard drive)
Select disk 0 (by default your boot drive primary disk 0 will be, check it out)
Clean
Create Primary Partition
Select Partition 1
Assets
Format FS = NTFS quick
Output
Step 5, then simply cross install Windows 7 as you normally would. This time, the installation program does not create the 100 MB hidden partition reserved.

  • An empty Partition and system reserved Partition

    Currently I have windows 7 and wanted to do a multi boot with Linux. I was looking at my system partitions and I drive C: and partition 16 GB vague and empty, a system reserved partition. What do these and I have to do something with them before attempting to create the multiboot?

    Hello

    Scores of recovery to reinstall the operating system to a new State are normally between 5-19GBs.

    The system reserved partition, you touch not;

    http://www.howtogeek.com/192772/what-is-the-system-reserved-partition-and-can-you-delete-it/

    This partition contains two important things:

    • The Boot Manager and Boot Configuration data : when your computer starts, the Windows Boot Manager starts and reads data from the start of the Boot Configuration database (BCD). Your computer starts the bootstrapper on the system reserved partition, and it starts Windows on your system drive.
    • Start-up files used for BitLocker Drive Encryption: if ever you decide to encrypt your hard drive with BitLocker Drive Encryption, the system reserved partition contains the files needed to start your computer. Your computer starts the system reserved partition unencrypted, and it will decrypt the main encrypted drive and start the system encrypted in Windows.

  • Why I have a FAT32 partition and how can I know what is on it?

    I tried to free up space on my hard drive and I went to disk management and discovered that I have a FAT32 partition.  This partition has a capacity of 2.9 GB and is currently greater than 90% full.  How can I find on which is stored here?  Is there a reason that this partition is necessary?  I've certainly not implemented (at least not on purpose).   I use Windows XP.

    Thank you!

    The best thing to do would be to consult your computer's documentation and see if there's information to the service partition.

    You can watch the partition with disk editing tools such as Acronis Disk Director or you can use a partition simple editing tool like PtEdit32 from Symantec to change the partition type and you can then watch the partition with Windows Explorer.

    Make a note of the type of partition until you change it so that you can then set it back as it was.  The partition is probably a hidden type 1 c, if you want to change for a type of 0C to view it.  A reboot is required for Windows see and mount the partition to make it available to Windows Explorer or disk management tool.

    WARNING!

    Slippery fingers or user errors when you use the drive or the partition, editing tools can lead to the loss of all data on the disk!  To aid PtEdit32 is quite easy and simple, but it requires a little knowledge and understanding of (or a willingness to learn) how partitions are organized and identified.  You can download PtEdit32 from the Symantec FTP server, which is easy to find with a search on the net: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oG7mbsbOxMsWcBUlZXNyoA?p=ftp.symantec.com+ptedit32&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-501

    You can look, but don't delete or modify files inside the service partition, if you do the restore process may fail when you most need!

  • Computer in safemode, blocked: "multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system32\config\system"

    Original title: laptop won't start Windows XP. Shows only a black screen.

    I work on a laptop Gateway MX 3416 running Windows XP Media Center Edition.

    When I turn on the laptop, I see the gateway logo, then white text that says press F11 for recovery of the system, but it goes to a black screen. Pressing on F8 does nothing and if you press the power button, the laptop shut down immediately.
    After you run the Bootcfg command in the Console of a Windows XP disk recovery, I managed to get the ability to run safe mode.
    When I try to run safe mode, it gets stuck at the "multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system32\config\system"
    I have already run chkdsk from the recovery console and it did not show anything.
    I am running out of ideas and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. with respect to the first question: your system files have been corrupted. Do a System Restore before the app was used.

    Try you "tune up", "maximize", "registry cleaners" or any what kind of app that promises to improve the performance of your PC somehow. None of them improve anything, often at the antipodes (as you discovered). Microsoft W7 already has all the apps. you need to keep your PC in tip-top condt. Try not to add anything.

    All these various named apps. are all 'snake oil' and very dangerous to use. However, you will find a lot of 'logic' online promo. material from "authoritarian" sites as to how will be beneficial for your PC. Not drawn in by these Advertorials :)

    2 the hidden partition is probably "restore to factory condt." partition rescue/recovery of the manufacturer of your computer. This can be used for the rescue of PC when things diabolically wrong with your operating system and cannot be set by any other means. You need an ISO image (clone) of the OS partition and MBR (master boot record) only, not the entire HARD drive.  Including the partition of relief are a very good idea but I'm not familiar with the software cloning you use.

    Download Macrium Reflect free edition for purposes of cloning and recovery and make the CD

    image recovery disk. He advises you to do so (by steps in the simple wizard driven) before using the program for anything regardless of whether the image.

  • Why the HARD disk is partitioned into C & D on Satellite Pro C partition

    Why the HARD drive is divided and how to use it?

    It is important that the one that I use?
    It turns into one big disk?

    The manual says nothing about this.

    Thanks for any help

    Ken

    Hello

    The HARD disk is partitioned and contains two partitions. The C partition is the system partition that contains the Windows operating system. The second D partition contains data drive HARD recovery.
    HARD drive recovery allows you to establish the notebook back to factory settings without the recovery disk usage.

    But it s is strongly recommended to create the recovery disk! The user manual provides the info on that in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, the recovery disk allows you to recover the laptop.

    Of course, you can delete the D partition if you want to, but before doing so, you must create the recovery disk.

    However, my HARD drive contains 3 partitions. I created an extra. In my case, the C partition contains only system and the unique software. My files private like Mp3, movies, etc. are placed on the D second partition).
    The third partition (E) contains a folder with games.

  • Drag and drop on the same disk, same partition hours. Why and how to fix it?

    Hello

    My computer crashed and I put the files saved on the disk. Slide it / move files adobe is 500 GB and taken a few hours to complete. Drag and Drop that into a subfolder in this directory, the system tells me that it will take even more time to copy. Why? What it means.

    Two things you need to know:

    (1) the system hangs usually about all six months requiring a clean install.

    (2) this time I portioned disk, put the operating system on the partition of 500 GB and put the data files on the other half of the partition to see what happens the next time it crashes - and it will eventually crash. (I want to know if everything is damaged remains on the side with the operating system or if it affects the entire drive.)

    All other files seem to drag / move very well, it is precisely those specific files of photographs. Any suggestions? This allusion to a problem not diagnosed with the disc? Is it because I partitioned the HD?

    Thank you
