Do you mean 100MB used by System Reserved partition?

Yes

That System Reserved partition contains your boot files. You need to keep it.

Then divide up the rest of your hard drive any way you choose.

 

[baxxter]

create it as a disk or leave it un-created ?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Do you mean 100MB used by System Reserved partition?

Yes

that partition is still there or did you delete it and has it unused space now?
What is your question?

 

[baxxter]

I tried delete it before and my laptop coldnt boot ,now its still not in use .I want to add it to the other disk if i can ,and if i cant ,should I let it unused ?
Im making it 8mb ,I dont know if It will run or not ,ill see after a while

 

[Kaktussoft]

so system reserved partition is still there and has files on it?? Don''t understand you. Please explain... sorry don't understand

As a preparation to delete it you can do this Changing the Boot Partition - EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki

If you have a System Reserved partition, LEAVE IT ALONE. DO NOT DELETE IT. You need it to boot your PC.

If you have a System Reserved partition, LEAVE IT ALONE. DO NOT DELETE IT. You need it to boot your PC.

Only if you use bitlocker!! Boot files can be made on C-partition as well. If you forget... "startup repair" can fix the problem

i made the size 8 mb and it boot .ill leave it alone if it must be System Reserved partition .

Kaktusoft:

Yes, I have my boot files on C and don't have a System Reserved.

I'm not sure what Baxxter is doing or has done, but at this point he needs to keep System Reserved if he hasn't already deleted it.

I can't really understand his situation as it is poorly explained.

Post a picture of your Windows Disk Management.

create it as a disk or leave it un-created ?

you mean the 100MB is now unused space?
Is the C-partition marked as active? And does it succesfully boot at the moment?

 

[baxxter]

08 MB is now unused space.and the C is actif and it succesfully booted.
You mean if i changed the boot files to the C i can delete that unused space ?

 

[Kaktussoft]

it boots succesfully... nice. it is already unused so already deleted, so there's nothing to transfer!! How did you change the size from 100MB to 8MB?

 

[baxxter]

by partition magic software

 

[Kaktussoft]

It looks like you changed the starting position of C-partition already(?) Otherwise there was 100MB unused space.

I think I didnt ,I found it like that .but I dont know why I still cant delete that unused space and add it to the C

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Is this "unused space" called "unallocated space"?

Unallocated space should be added to partitions, rather than "deleted".

Without a picture, no one knows what you have or what you are doing.
