• Problem with hard drive 3 TB and the need to delete the system partition reserved

  I am running Windows 7, 64-bit version.  have another hard disk of 500 GB and I bought a 3 TB hard drive and installed windows 7 on it (3 TB) fine.  But to finish install and found 3 TB hard drive showed only 2 TB of usable disk space.  does a job at home and found that before 2011, the bios of the motherboard can only support HD up to 2 TB, and in order to use all 3 to, I need to convert to GPT disk.  To do this, I need to remove the volume, but since I installed windows 7 more early, he created a score 'system reserved', I can't delete or edit, or format.  All boards to complete this (converted to GPT disk) so I can use all 3 TB of HD?   Now, I re installed windows 7 on my other drive.

  Any advice on how to convert to GPT disk without deleting the system reserved partition?

  Thank you all... Finally figure it out.  Just in case where any who need it going forward... and

  That's what I did

  Step 1.  start by using the windows installation disc 7, press SHIFT + F10 when the language pop up page, use the diskpart... command to remove the system reserved partition. and turn off the computer.

  Step 2.  Open the computer case and unplug the 3 TB hd of the motherboard by unplug the SATA her cable.

  Step 3.  Re-install windows 7, turn off the computer when done

  Step 4.  re - connect the 3 TB - DD and closed the case and power on the computer

  Step 5.  Disk management can use GPT disk.

  A lot of work, but finally did.

• 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?

  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.

• TouchSmart 610 - installation of windows 8 on a partition, error, not enough space on the system partition?

  I created a 150 GB partition to install Windows 8 so I can dual boot Win 7 and Win 8.  When I try to install, I get a message that there is not enough free space on my score 'system '.  The only thing I can think is that it refers to the partition of 100 MB (reserved) system.  It has only 10 MB of free space.  The partition I want to install on obviously has a lot of space.  Someone had this problem and got around him?

  UPDATE: found the problem with my 100 MB partition reserved.  I assigned a drive letter in disk management and saw a "test.vhd" of 55 MB file.  I recognized as a virtual drive that I had created and deleted a few months ago!  Deleted this file and then removed the drive letter assignment and Windows 8 is installed on my score in 15 minutes approximately.

  Hello meezer,.

  Glad you was able to get installed it. He always seems to be the little things that make us the most problems.

• How can SYSTEM partition is almost full - I know what is there?

  My SYSTEM partition is 100 MB and has only 12 MB free.  How can I know what all the space is used for?

  The reason why I worry about it, it is that prevents Microsoft backup to create an image of the system; There must be no more than 50 MB in use then a picture of the shadow can be created.

  Hello

  I also encountered this problem and eventually find that NTFS USN journal has gradually growed up "eating" too much free space (40 MB!) of the "system reserved" partition.

  In this case, the solution is quite simple:

  (1) temporarily assign a drive letter to the partition system reserved "disk management".

  (2) open a command prompt, and then run fsutil usn deletejournal/n/d x: "X" is the drive letter assigned to the "system reserved" partition

  (3) remove the drive letter the "system reserved" partition (which must remain without drive letter assigned).

• System partitions and upgrade to Windows 7, Linux

  Yesterday, I bought my first CV - ProBook 4515 s model with SLED 11 Linux preinstaled. Given that I'm not familiar with Linux systems first thing I did was to install Windows 7.

  My laptop came with 4 partitions that is formatted in a file system that Windows does not recognize. I'm guessing a partition for installing Linux, two of them are system (HP_TOOLS and HP_RECOVERY) partitions and the fourth was just an empty disk. So I formatted the fourth partition and installed Windows 7.

  The problem is now that I am out of system partitions, so can not access other software preinstaled and QuickLook. I tried a single partition format and rename it to HP_TOOLS and then tried to install QuickLook v. 3 but the facility reported that my system has not been supported? I don't want to mess with the other partitions in the fear that I could remove the BIOS, but want to sort this mess up and would certainly like to have some of the options that is is installed with the system.

  Any suggestions?

  Message edited by Martine on 14/10/2009 14:07

  I think that the HP_TOOLS and HP_RECOVERY partitions are formatted as ext2 or ext3 file system, Windows cannot read. It can only read NTFS and FAT32. There is no way I can think to convert the ext2\3 to NTFS without keeping the integrity of the system. In addition, the files are all intended for linux and not Windows. He has makes no sense to do that. That said, I'm not sure if your laptop has Windows 7 drivers now.

• names of system partition

  Can I reverse the sheet music for a clean install so that the partition/drive c:\ is NOT the system partition. On my Vaio, it is the partition musette and as everything by default installs on the C:\ drive, it has caused many space issues in spite of the process of installing programs on disk D:\. This is how the machine and it's very frustrating. None of my other computers have never been set up this way.

  If you you reinstall windows on some of the recoveries, there will be an option to change the size of the C: drive. Otherwise you can specify the programs to be installed on the D: drive. Or use a 3rd party partitioning program to change the size or combine the partitions.

• fragmentation of system partition

  Hello

  The system partition contains the files and start the Windows recovery environment and it is perfectly normal for her to show some degree of fragmentation - that partition should not be défragmentée, because it can cause problems with the loading of Windows.

• Splitting the system partition?

  Hello

  I have two physical hard drives. Currently, each disk has a basic partition. The first detected disk has the C partition and the second disc has the partition (E) Windows XP is installed on E.

  I want to divide the C partition into two partitions. As far as I know, I have to delete the C partition and make two new partitions. I have all the data in c supported partition E if this isn't the problem. When I opened the disk management software, I realized the C partition is marked as a system partition and I can't remove it.

  Is there a way I can split this system partition?

  You need third party software. There are several choices, such as Partition Magic.

• You want to transfer my Win XP system on a new HARD drive. Are there problems with the copying of the system partition?

  Want to transfer all the information on my current including system partitions and data to a new HARD drive than my current HARD drive shows signs of debris. I suspect there are a few problems in the copy of the system partition as some files are not available for copying while windows is running?

  I advise to read the article on the copy of the hard drive in the first place, you can learn more. (:

• CHKDSK runs 5 steps for the system, 3 for the non-system partition partition

  Would be - to schedule chkdsk for the partition system using GUI by selecting two options available here
  It executes all 5 steps of verification of system files and disk.
  Would be - to plan an analysis of the non-system partition disk by setting the dirty bit (fsutil dirty) put...
  It runs only 3 floors of disk scan.

  Whence this difference?

  Fsutil allows you to set the 'dirty' bit for a NTFS disk, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume.  When the F switch is set, the activity of chkdsk is divided into three major passes: checking files, checking the index and security descriptors.

  If you use the R (chkdsk/r) switch, chkdsk performs twice more to look for bad sectors. During step 4, chkdsk checks all clusters in use; during step 5, chkdsk checks the unused beams.

  Given that you used the GUI instead of enter the chkdsk command in a command prompt window or in the run box, you must have checked the two boxes that appear under "to check disk options'-' automatically fix file system errors" and "will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.»

  Most of the time, one is not using the R switch or check the box to recover data from bad sectors because it can take a lot of time and (b) "recovered data" are usually not easily usable.

• Partition table does not have a valid system partition

  I am working on a Dell XPS 420 computer for a customer.  She has Windows Vista installed on it (not sure what version of Vista).

  He's doing a loop, wherever it loads to the point where I can see the bottom and the mouse, but it stops there.  After 5 minutes of him sitting on this screen, it restarts, I can't access one of the Advanced menu F8.  I tried Safe Mode, and after that it loads the crcdisk it restarts, it does with Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with networking Mode and safe mode with command prompt.  I can't use the last known configuration because it will just try to load and eventually restart.

  Things I've tried is that I ran a diagnosis of hard drive and memory, and they both pass.

  I tried the repair with the regedit option and load the system hive in the registry.

  I tried the bootrec command.

  Well I put in a disk for Installation of Vista and choose the repair option.  I did the auto diagnosis and repair option (first choice I think) and I checked the report after he finished saying that it fixes itself and needed to restart (which he did not in fact)

  Well the result that came was that the Partition Table does not have a valid System Partition.

  I tried the bootrec command, and they all said it has repaired but it did not, when I tried to do the bootrec /rebuild he gave me the message "element not found".

  I ran a test diagnosis system and I received the following message

  System test
  error code 0146
  Msg error code 2000-0146
  MSG HDD 0 - self-test log contains previous errors. Given the code and can be used by the support message technology guide to help diagnose the problem.

  be honest, I just need to know if I need to replace the hard drive or not, it's for a customer.

  I did not see if the HDD is set to AHCI or SATA in the bios again, but I will when I get home today, but I would like some answers backup.

  Hi countryboyofal,

  I suggest that you contact Dell support for the outcome of the diagnostic system.

• 2nd System Partition is not available and I don't have A Vista DVD or CD the day I bought my desktop computer.

  My system does not have a recovery partition which is accessible and I don't have the DVD to recover my system.  I bought my computer the day Vista came out and wanted the XP but the store would not give me an our sell me an XP cd or dvd.  I've was stuck with Vista and was not even given a DVD in case of system failure.

  Hello

  Normally, the recovery on a system partition is accessible by using a F key at the start of the initial system. For the corresponding key or combination of keys, see the documentation for your system or online from the manufacturer support.

  If you need a recovery media, you will need to contact the manufacturer for such. Do not use a retail disk as often, they do not contain the necessary drivers for the owner builder systems.
