not enough free space in system reserved partition
Hello folks,
I am having a problem where windows system image backup fails because there is not enough free space in the 100MB system reserved partition.
The story is as follows:
Initially there is a 1.5TB hard drive with 100MB system partition and rest is c:
I installed an SSD and used Samsung's migration assistant to copy the os to the SSD.
The original hard drive still has the system reserved partition with 70% free, and the old windows partition.
The new SSD has a 100 MB partition also, except that it is named "data", and only has 7MB free space. I assigned a drive letter to it to look inside, and I can only see the boot dir of 13.9MB, recycle bin (empty), bootmgr, and "system volume information", which is 48KB.
I also did the thing to delete the USN journal, and it only cleared up 2MB. What is taking up this other space?
PS This is on my Dad's compute with W7 pro
