    100Mb system drive preventing Windows Upgrade


    Hi.

    I'm trying to upgrade my w7 home premium to professional but ran into a problem I can't solve.




    As you can see, drive I: is actually the 100Mb drive created by Windows which normally doesn't have a drive letter but apparently gets assigned one when checking compatibility.

    What to do? :)

    Fixed it by copying bcd files to c: and marking it active.

    You should also run a few Startup repairs to complete making C self boot.
