| | The one on the left, 14.65 GB, is needed should you want to restore to factory specifications like the day you got the PC. If you make a set of recovery disks that can do the same thing, you might consider getting rid of this partition. Otherwise, keep it. The system reserved partition contains your boot files and should be left alone. It's very small anyway. You can get rid of it if you want to after transferring your boot files to C, but why bother? |

| | I always move the bootmgr to C - it is dead simple. Not because I need the extra 100MB, but because it is more convenient for imaging and if you want to transfer the OS to another disk - e.g. an SSD. Bootmgr - Move to C:\ with EasyBCD |
