It appears as a mysterious disc on my computer labeled as 'System Reserved'.

Original title: mysterious disc

It appears as a mysterious disc on my computer labeled as 'System Reserved'. It shows some space occupy and some for free, but on opening it shows that the folder is empty. Allowing even show hidden files will not help.

Hi Ashwin,

You can hide it by removing the drive letter assigned to it.

Open disk management (press Win + R on the keyboard and type diskmgmt.msc in Run dialog box. Press ENTER.), right click on the partition and select change drive letter and paths. Click Remove.

The partition must now be invisible from the file Explorer. Do not respond if you have any other questions.

Thank you.

  • What is 'System Reserved'? Why it appears as a hard drive?

    Hi people,

    I have just re built my PC game, and thus, it has 5 HARD drives.

    He is now showing a 6th disc, called "System Reserved" (70.3 MB free of 99.9 MB)

    I checked the disk management, see it as a partition (?) on a 75 GB of HDD from my old PC, which has the Home Premium version of 7 64 bit OS installed.

    My new system has 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS installed, which is the real operating system I use.

    I read in an issue, which is usually reserved system a partition that contains the files needed to start.

    It is not suggested that this reserved system contains the boot for my old OS files? As it is only 29.6 GB, is it big enough to be who? When I 'open in a new window' it says empty, but I think it's really impossible to access files.

    I am very happy to leave it alone, but I'm curious as to why it is listed as another drive?

    Also, if it's start-up files, and I chose for formatting the rest of the drive is on, which would be he start?

    Thank you

    Phil :)

  • When I insert my recovery disk its Blanck, but if I used the same disc in another computer I can see the content inside

    Original title: DVD RW drive

    I'm having a problem with my computer toshiba M645. When I insert my recovery disk its Blanck, but if I used the same disc in another computer I can see the contents inside. I try inserting the disk dvd movies and it will play normally. Please give me help with this problem because I want to get my phone to the sound out of the box state. Thank you.

    Hello

    The drive came with the laptop or you did it yourself in the recovery Partition?

    And you're supposed to boot from the recovery disc to start the recovery process.

    You change the Boot order to make the CD/DVD drive first in the boot order. Then, you start from the disc.

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    And as a way to re - install with most of the Toshibas, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the process of recovery back to settings factory (new State) of the recovery Partition.

    See you soon.

  • My CD and DVD readers do not read the disc and my computer connects to the internet.

    In fact, I was downloading a game whose download was about 5 hours. So, I start in the morning and destiny to let it download until I got home. Now, in general, I did it all the time without ANY problems, but when I got home yesterday, 12/08/09 about 19:10:00 PST, the screen was black and read something along the lines of insert a bootable media device or restart your computer. Then, knowing that my score was beautiful and just as good HARD drive, I restarted. He reloaded the check disk tool and started a scan of my C: drive. He then started a long list of repairs, the removal and relocation of some files and things. Fine. Regardless of return to work. However, once it started normally, I couldn't access the internet. I tried to use the installation disc supplied with my DSL 2WIRE Modem, but it did not read and doesn't not appear on my computer. Then, I checked the Device Manager, I found to my surprise that the drivers to my readers of CD-ROM and DVD have disappeared, as well as my internet modem. So now, after this long description, my question is how/where on earth can download the proper drivers and then transport them to my computer? I use computer a member of the family at this time and would like to return mine. The name of my internet modem is Realtek RTL8139. Thanks for the help.

    Hello CC831,

    Thank you for your message.  Go to your computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers you need.  You can then transfer these drivers on your computer that do not correctly work with a USB key or external hard drive.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.

    First of all, note that you can use an upgrade, you cannot make a
    update from XP to Windows 7. You'll have to do a cleaning
    installation.

    Secondly, I do not understand why you bought both the download and the
    disks. It would appear that you need one. Can you elaborate?

    You need a copy of Windows 7 for each machine. You cannot use the
    copy the same for both machines. But if you bought two copies, you can use
    one of them for each machine.
