Windows 7 - System Reserved - Changing partition type ID to 0x27

| | System Reserved - Changing partition type ID to 0x27 I was reading in the Technet library about the system reserved partition and how it should be set to partition type id 0x27. Would I be able to do this after windows installation? I have extended the partition to 300mb instead of the usual 100mb. It is currently type 0x7 NTFS (Unmounted). I have been using Minitool Partition Wizard to handle my partitions and I can set the ID type with that. Would there be any benefit to changing it? And would it have any impact on the system if I did change it? I'd be grateful of any advice. Thanks  Last edited by Burdus77; 08-23-2011 at 06:44 PM.. |

| | Haha, I take your point. I do have a habit of tweaking things which probably shouldn't be tweaked. I'll leave it alone! Thanks for the advice/comment |

| | Burdus, I use DiskPart which is free and part of Windows 7. However, I strongly agree with the advice from BareFoot--If it works, don't fix it. Last edited by karlsnooks; 08-25-2011 at 06:39 PM.. Reason: typo |
