    Create a partition out of the 101 MB, then PW should let you merge them together.

    Did that and they merged together. Now I have 2 unallocated partitions. One is 1.00MB and the other is 1.02MB. I tried creating another out of each of those but they both "failed to crate partition".

    Why are you using Partition Wizard?

    Will not change Disk 1 to Disk 0.

    On Vista.
    SATA 0 = Disk 0 OS
    SATA 1 = Disk 1 Back up

    On Windows 7.
    SATA 0 = Disk 1 OS
    SATA 1 = Disk 0 Back up

    On Windows 8/8.1.
    SATA 0 = Disk 0 OS
    SATA 1 = Disk 1 Back up

    I was trying to get rid of the System reserved and it because unallocated and I tired to merge unallocated with windows. Partition wizard failed and rescue/repair says "Startup repair cannot repair this computer auotmatically. Sending more information can help Microsoft create solutions." So thats it its done. Format c:....again.

    Yes, I have read.
    The OP would like DM to show drives as
    C: -> Disk 0 = 500GB SATA Windows
    D: -> Disk 1 = 1TB SATA Media Drive

    but with motherboard the OP has, DM will show only as
    C: -> Disk 1 = 500GB SATA Windows
    D: -> Disk 0 = 1TB SATA Media Drive

    Disk drive numbers may not correspond to the SATA channel numbers when you install Windows on a computer that has multiple SATA or RAID disks

    If you don`t want a system reserved partition, then.....

    When you get to step 7, make sure you delete all partitions down to un allocated space. Then create a partition out of the un allocated space. You could divide the hard drive in half, or you could just use the entire drive for windows. That choice is yours.

    Clean Install Windows 7

    And only have the hard drive you want to install windows on plugged in, disconnect any others.
