How to move system reserve from Disk 0 to C Drive??

Hey all,

I recently just installed a mSATA 120gig SSD and have a 1TB HDD attached as well.

I cleaned installed windows 7 to the SSD and it is marked as C Drive which is all good but the current problem is I would like the System Reserved - Healthy (System) to be transferred onto the SSD (C Drive)

I've been looking for a while but now I am at my last resort and posting here.

I have also attached an image of Disk Management.



Thanks in advance

 

You cannot simply move it, you can remove the HDD and then use a system repair disc to put the boot loader back on the SSD, it won't create a 100MB partition, but the files will be on the SSD. Alternatively, you can do another clean install, but this time remove the HDD from the notebook before you do it.

For reference when you install windows for the first time, the 100MB system reserved partition will be created on either the only drive available or if there are multiple ones, it will be created on the drive on port 0 which is disk 0.

 

Hmm thanks for clearing that up I might go for your first suggestion.

Will the Windows 7 installion disk suffice or recommend burning a back up disc from the windows back up utility?

 

The install disc should suffice, you can also create a system repair disc.

 

Maybe esaybcd can be of help.

I'm not sure about this - on my desktop it's random and on the one laptop I have with 2 internal drive bays, the 100 MB partition always gets created on port 1.

 

Hmm, interesting, form my experience with desktops, it always ended up on port 0. It makes you wonder whether there is any logic to it at all...
