Remove the old hard drive's "system Reserved" partition
I installed a new Seagate 1 TB hard drive and a new operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit on my HP Pavilion a6500f PC. I kept the old Seagate 500 GB disk, put it in an envelope and formatted to use as a unit of storage for backup of my drive. However, when I open 'Computer' after having turned on the envelope I have 2 drives listed instead of one. It says a (J) is the system reserved partition and the other (K) is the drive. I put a picture to show what I mean.
As you can see in the middle there are two partitions for the main drive (C), and the bottom shows the drive J and K. What I want to know is how to get rid of this drive J so that all I have is the K left.
Help will be greatly appreciated!
Personally, I would use free mini tool to format the drive externally
Of course you have formatted the other not the entire disk partition
Reason to use the mini tool is that it is more user-friendly :)
But you can drive system 6 reserved a right click and select Delete volume

Can I delete the 100MB system reserved partition
Is it possible to install windows 7 (clean install) without making an extra (hidden) "system reserved" partition of 100 MB?
or how to remove this partition after installing?
Why is it for?
I have the sense that it slows down a bit my hard drive?Thank you
Hi Johan G,.
Thanks for posting to get ready for Windows 7.
The 100 MB partition is a partition system and contains the boot files. Disk Manager does not allow you to delete this partition because they remove this partition could force the system to no boot.
Thanks for posting your question to prepare for the community group Winodws 7.
Kind regards

I'll install win8 on an SSD, but it is necessary to create a system partition reserved on my SSD win8 installing?
Help, please
Hello
Please report the number of HP for your PC product so that members of the community can better help you with your questions and your questions.
Windows 8 will automatically create the partitions required according to the format of hard drive and if the PC is in UEFI etc.
I have four images bootable (W7s - 2 and 2 - W8s) on one hard drive and I don't have a system reserve partition.
Use a higher than 160 GB SSD and the HP recovery discs should work.

Both HP and Microsoft indicate my laptop was ready for the upgrade to Windows 10, but when I tried to do the upgrade there not - several times - with the error message of Microsoft that "we could not update the system reserved partition."
What should do?
Other threads of error indicate the system reserved partition must be larger. This partition is usually small. Try making at least 400 MB instead of the 100 MB to 250 MB it is probably now.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: windows 10 could ' t update the system reserved partition
Installation Windows 10 leads following on the Windows Update screen:
Windows 10 could not be installed
We could not update the system reserved partition.
What now?
It worked despite me:
Don't enter the right amount of space between "/" s, skipped the part attrib by accident, and when I couldn't find the file Explorer options moved the command chkdsk. As it was for Windows 7 to 8 figurative later may not be necessary.
Installation failed with code C1900101 (if the memory.) Seen people on other boards with driver issues, I have disconnected my external monitor and was able to install.
All right, so thanks.

Base partition to reduce the partition of Windows 7 front enough so to "Extend" the 350 MB system partition by using the unallocated space created by reducing the Windows partition.
http://www.partition-tool.com/
Note: Do not exceed 350 MB as a larger partition and can cause other problems especially after that it exceeds about 375 MB.

I have 2 drives - 240GB SSD where Windows is installed and a HD in Toshiba 3 TB of data.
After installing Windows 7 for the SSD, it creates a system reserved 100 MB Toshiba hard disk partition. I now want to create a single data (d) on the Toshiba partition but disk management only limit myself to create a partition of 2 TB and a 746 GB partition. Past posts to dig suggests it's the MBR problem - then what can I do now to break this limit, without deleting or play with the 100MB system reserved partition?
Hi YT :)
You're right, that this problem is caused by the fact that your hard drive is cut using the style of partition table MBR, which allows only to create partitions to a maximum of 2 TB size each. In order to 'break' this limit, you must convert your hard drive in a GPT partition table, which does not have this limit (well, the limit to 128 TB then there it doesn't matter much). You can convert your hard disk from MBR to GPT without loss of data. Follow the instructions in the tutorial below:
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/convert-MBR-to-GPT-disk
Method 2 and 3 explain how to perform the conversion without loss of data, method 3 is the easiest.
Let me know if you have any questions.

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.
See you soon.

The system reserved partition may grant a drive letter?
After I freshly installed Windows 7 from scratch, the installation creates a reserved system (100 MB) partition and is not a drive letter attached to it. Is it safe to give a drive letter to this partition system reserved?
My reason and my anxiety of wanting to do this is anti-virus etc programs won't be able to sweep this area even if make a similar "full system scan". Although probably little likely, I fear that this could be a target for any type of bad file hide there without knowing it. Everyone would be able to put my mind at ease or let me know if the giving a partition drive letter is safe to do so without making the operation of windows?
Yes, you can give it a drive letter, and no, you shouldn't. Where there is this partition is used exclusively for the startup process. If make you it visible in him giving a letter from reader then you may change which could result in a machine that won't start longer.

SYSTEM RESERVE partition request. Need help. Thank you.
I accidentally gave a drive letter to the partition SYSTEM RESERVE. So that in the management of the computer - go through the process of attaching a VHD file - I confused myself with the virtual hard drives, I had created and attached etc etc. Was almost going to delete this partition, thinking it was one of those I created, but fortunately do not have!
She has now, however, drive letter F attached to it.
First of all, is this going to be a problem?
And secondly, is it normal to remove the drive letter without causing a problem?
Hope someone can direct me right with that.
Thanks in advance.
Phil
Assign a drive letter for the reserved system, this is the only way to access the partition through Explorer and itself causes no problems. Drive letters are specific to the o/s kick therefore have effect if the recovery of the operating system is loaded. This is because the BIOS does not work at a partition level.
Withdrawal of the drive letter will also remove the Explorer views it protects so accidental change and has no effect on anything else.
