Windows system reserved (j) poster and additional partitions PQService (k)

My E-machine with Windows 7 top computer.  I've had it for years.  A few years ago system reserved (J :) and PQService (K :) started to appear.  I have an Acer monitor, I bought after the purchase of the computer.  I don't think that this J and K were there initially.  I think they came close a year or two ago.  Do I need this on my computer?  What are they for?

Hello

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

Thank you for details on the issue.

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.

So, please do not try to remove or delete the "System Reserved" partition.

For reference, see suggestions of Debbie - Support Engineer replied on June 11, 2009.

PQservice's hidden partition that allows you to restore the system out of the box state.

For reference, see suggestions of SpiritX MS MVP responded on February 20, 2012.

Then I suggest that you keep the two partitions.

I hope this information helps.

Please let us know if you need more help.

Thank you

    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.

    What now?

    It worked despite me:

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • Although the recommended minimum requirements are 16 GB (32-bit), 20 GB (64-bit), if you upgrade from a previous version of Windows or a previous version, you will need to have at least 40-50 GB of free space to accommodate the installation files.
    • First run Disk Clean up.
    • Archive files rarely used to an external hard drive.
    • Consider data synchronization to OneDrive or similar online service and do a custom installation.
    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • Do a clean boot, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
    • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (e.g., USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripheral non-essential).

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    I have the sense that it slows down a bit my hard drive?

  • Limit of 2 TB on 2nd HARD drive, how to change without affecting the system reserved Partition?

    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.

  • Should I be defragmentation PQ Service and system reserved?

    I use windows 7 SP1, it's my Disk Defrag - it shows 3 discs, the first is that I expect to defrag - my C drive, which is scheduled to run, and I have no problem with defragmenting drive C.

    I have no idea what these other 2 discs do or if Iam assume defrag them as well.

    PQ Service - last run 24/07/12 0% fragmented

    RESERVE SYSTEM - 7/3112 was last run 8% fragmented.

    I would appreciate any information on these 2 discs. TIA...

    ~ ~ granny

    Hello learning-to-62,

    The disk marked PQ service partition contains a copy of your operating system and is used to restore your system to conditions in the factory if you have any major problems. You can find a way to restore your system to conditions at the factory by looking in the PC Guide, that came with your PC or even to visit your PC manufacturer website. This partition you have no need to defragment because no changes have been made for him.

    The System reserved is a small partition that contains your Windows operating system startup files. Personally, I defragment this file as well as my C: drive.

  • Is your system reserved Partition a drive C?

    Hello

    (Which happened to me)
    I advise you to use a window for this xp CD. Your steps to install Windows xp but I find it easy to this because the lay out is clear and is easier to understand. And also I have tried with an CD of window Xp (Service Pack 3)
    I don't know if anyone else has know how to solve this problem... but I don't

    Done included formatting of your driver if I were you I'd do a Back up... you can always make a new partition called back up and save all of your stuff...


    Heres how to make Partition * I do not own the video *.

    For Windows Vista and 7:
    For Windows Xp:
    I've seen a lot of questions * not on this site but others * saying that they got an extra driver called a System reserved? If this is the case, many people * including me * was going to re install this than ever operating system * mainly window 7 * they had. If you did that most of the people who notice they drive Local letter had changed and probably F * my local drive letter has changed from being a C and a D * and also that system reserved Partition had never removed...
    In this forum, I am showing you how to make your Local drive letter to C...
    If this happened to you, it may take some time until what you discover the problem. If your installation of something, such as a game or a driver * especially printer * it would give you an error saying you need to install that either the driver you want to install on this C driver. But the thing is... that C is your reserved system driver. You can't install anything on this Partition, because to guess the name of this Partition its your thing system reserved. * I don't have any idea what it does * Heres how to solve your problem!
    Pop in your Windows CD...
    Go on your installation
    For Windows XP:
    Your screen should look like this once it load programs
    It doesn't have to be a partition... In this case they probably two riders, but all we need is this reserved system and drive Local...
    Now, go to your system reserved... Make sure that this white bar is on...
    Now, press D and delete this partition...
    After you have removed it you will now need to format your Local drive * knowing you your files to be supported upward or don't need them *...
    Now you must create the partition by pressing C and following the instructions on the screen
    After this time you want to install Windows xp, its up to you, if it is to take the Cd and put it in the operating system you want to install...
    For Windows Vista, 7
    Your screen should look like this
    Window 7
    Window Vista
    ?hl=en&biw=1366&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=CXBJodfLFbuDoM:&imgrefurl=http://www.extension.iastate.edu/it/support/vista/install.htm&docid=-Sy62vYE43NXgM&imgurl=http://www.extension.iastate.edu/NR/rdonlyres/F76E3CC5-FFC8-4525-8FDF-15749569A94C/53185/03format75.jpg&w=602&h=452&ei=AkpVUP9F6KXRBemogcgK&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=880&vpy=219&dur=171&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=183&ty=76&sig=116139560859664477618&page=1&tbnh=150&tbnw=200&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:8,s:0,i:95

    Now you have the driver (Advanced) Options
    You click on system reserved Partition and click clear, you should be able to remove it, if it isn't a copy of Windows xp and what to do since they...
    After that you have to do the same thing... format your main driver...
