Strange W7 installation
I had my computer set up as a dual boot for W7 and XP. My W7 came up with an authentication error after I tried to repartition the drive, so I had to reinstall it. Right before I did the reinstall, I deleted Windows XP pro from the other partition and formatted that partition (using the W7 tool that comes up during the setup process).
I've now reinstalled W7, but I'm confused by what I see in the disk management utility. It says that the primary drive is something called the "system reserved drive." In fact this drive has the following attributes: (System, active, primary partition). Strangely, my W7, which is now the only OS on the computer is listed as (Boot, Page file, crash dump, logical).
What is this "system reserved drive," and why isn't W7 listed as being the primary drive? Do I need to run another clean install?
