    You had to make System Reserve active. Couldn't just remove active from one partition then nothing would be active. (Only one partition can be active at a time.)

    Dinesh I can't tell you how long and hard I've struggled with this problem. You are the ONLY correct answer I could find. I created this account just so I could contact you and tell you how amazing you are. I'm glad you're in India, because if you were in the States, I would find you, and I would kiss you.
