Windows 7 "System Reserved 100MB conflict"!!!
Hi, so first of all i'm going to tell you that i have two hard drives one is WD Caviar Black 1TB (primary) which is partitioned in two "Local Disks" 150GB for the OS and 781GB for games and other stuff and the secondary hard drive is WD Caviar Blue 500GB which i had partitioned also in two local disks but after of using for a long time it seemed that it was in its end but after searching online i found that it had some "soft bad sectors" and those can be fixed by doing a "Low Level Format", so i downloaded "Active Kill-Disk" to do it so i did it successfuly and after it finished i didn't get again the "local disks" in My Computer but in Disk Management yes but this time like a "Unallocated space 460GB" and i went into the Windows 7 format process to format it and make a new partition so the process of "paritions" in the windows 7 setup was like this:
Disk 0 Partition 1: Unallocated space 100mb (instead of "System Reserved 100mb) and i don't know why
Disk 0 Partition 2: Local Disk C: Operating System (150GB)
Disk 0 Partition 3: Local Disk D: DATA (781GB)
Disk 1 Partition 1: Unallocated space 460GB
And when i saw the Disk 0 Partition 1 named to "Unallocated space 100mb" i was a bit frustated because always it was "System Reserved 100mb" and not Unallocated ! BTW, when i right click on Disk 1 partition 1 unallocated space 460 gb to create a new partition i just leaved as it is (460GB) and after creating it as a partition i got a new "System Reserved 100mb partition" above the 460GB and what i did i just removed again the partition to make it unallocated and after that i removed the Unallocated space 100mb in the top and Partition 2 to make a new partition with the normal "system reserved 100mb" and after that to make new partition with the 460GB to not get 2 system reserved partitions but when i removed (Disk 0 Partition 1 and Disk 0 Partition 2 and created it again to 150GB) i didn't get again any system reserved partition so i selected that partition even i didn't get a system reserved partition and i continued to install Windows 7 on it and after it finished and got desktop i went to Disk Management and Unallocated space 460GB i maked it a new volume partition but now it seems that "System Reserved 100mb partition" is in the Disk 1 instead of Disk 0 and this is going to afraid me because if i do a clean install in the future the System Reserved 100mb will still be in Disk 1 instead of Disk 0 which is inormal so please for the God sake tell me what to do to get the normal partitions inclunding the System Reserved partition so for the next clean install of windows to have to do only with Partition 2: Local Disk C 150GB without touching others partitions.
So thank you so much for your effort and sorry for my poor english :)
