    I don't see anything unusual there.
    Do your other systems have a System Reserved partition ?
    Not all PCs have a System Reserved partition, I don't ...

    fwiw, I do see hidden (no drive letter) partitions listed in System Protection.

    Thanks for the help David, yes all my other machines have a system reserved partition on disk 0 but no drive letter. I just can't figure out why the system reserved folder is in available drives under system protection. I have never seen it before. Thanks Much

    I don't have System Reserved, but imho there is something unusual with the 1.57 GB size.

    You may need to post a screen print of the folders/files contents of that partition.
    Someone that has a System Reserved partition may be able to explain why it works differently on that PC.

    Thx David, I just went and did what sir George posted. Deleted the partition and everything good now. After I deleted the partition it was unallocated space so I had to resize the C: drive. I used EaseUS to resize the drive but then had startup errors. After the second Startup Repair with the Windows 7 Disk, EaseUS finally resized the drive (out of the windows environment while in the startup process) and everything good now. I gained almost 2 GB on the C: drive, no system reserved partition anywhere now and running good.
    The only thing I can think as to why the 1.57 GB size could be is maybe because this was the third or fourth time this Windows 7 install has been cloned to a new drive since the first install. I hate reformatting system drives and having to reinstall everything. Think I have gone from an old conventional drive through at least 2 ssd's with this install and it still runs well. I know my registry has to be overloaded. lol Anyway guys thx for the help!!
