Hi Folks How's things going? I have a problem with my HDD my system reserved partition is in the way of a lot of unallocated data witch I was going to use to extend my HDD. If anyone could it explain how to delete it safely or how to move it that would be fantastic (prefer if it were deleted). As always help is much appreciated Picture Below
100mb.. why bother? .. it's less than 1% of your total drive space. it could hold vital bios bootstrap routines as well.. you don't know until you delete it.. at which point it's too late when you perhaps get a black screen with 162 system options not set fatal error (remember the old compaq machines that held the bios settings on the hdd anybody?) system reserved usually means just that.. it's reserved for something to do with the hardware startup routines.. perhaps the sata hdd drivers and stuff? you have a chunk of unallocated space.. that's easy to deal with.. just about any partitioning program will partition that space and format it... doesn't matter where on a drive a partition is.. beginning, middle or end.. makes no difference at all... even the stupid windows installer disk should cope with it.. I seem to remember it has a very basic (and crap) partitioner.
No I want to make C drive bigger using the unallocated space not create a new partition. But I can't cos the system reserved partition is right in the middle.
use the c:drive for windows & the 115.7gig as your data drive. this way if windows gets messed up, you don't have to reinstall all your data just windows.
