Often we can spot something to be considered. In this case it is that you took 100gb from the outside edge of your HD to place your data. This is the area which receives the fastest reads/writes since it is closest to where the reader parks, so it's optimal to place the OS on the outside edge, or left side in Disk Mgmt.
Had you told us you wanted to include a data partiition we would have advised to grab and slide the C partition over to the left in Partition Wizard to make space for your data drive on the right. This is why I asked. We are thorough like that here. It's one of the reasons why we are the top tech forums on the web.

Wow. Never thought about that. But in this case I think it's going to work out well. The data partition actually is holding a virtual machine for my work desktop. So instead of traveling with 2 laptops (personal and work), I put a virtual desktop on the Data drive, and since it's there I guess it will perform better than on the other side which is all goodness.
You guys are pretty smart

A virtual machine runs from the OS.

Making a Windows partition bootable without a "reserved" partition I have a disk that contains a Win7x64 partition. Previously the drive contained a small, active boot partition that would load Windows from the current partition. Now, however, all that I have is the Windows partition.
