Recyce Bin Problem Plus Question

Question: Should I have made this "ACTIVE" as well?

Not if I understand you correctly.

You want the Windows drive to be active.

What do you intend to put on that first partition you made active?

What do you intend to put on the second one?

Are you deliberately using that "System Reserved" partition that Windows likes to make?? You can avoid it if you want to. If you do use it, it should be active.

First question: a big definite NO. There should only one active partition on the drive and that needs to be the one that holds the boot files.

It can either be the System Reserved partition or the Windows partition, but not both. If the Windows partition holds the boot files and the active flag you would not need a System Reserved partition.

If you have got two active partitions, the one without the boot files needs to be made inactive.

Partition - Mark as Inactive

Here is a snap shot of how it looks:

That's OK. Only 1 active partition--the System Reserved.

Nothing wrong with that layout.

System Reserved is active as one would expect, the Windows partition holds all your system files and the Recovery partition holds the Windows image that will recover your computer to it's out-of-box factory state.

Okay, thanks but what about the Recycle Bin Problem?

Try the System File Checker: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

If that doesn't fix it, try a Repair Install: Repair Install

Did that and nothing showed up.

Just edited the post, try the repair install.
