I have a multiboot system with Win XP thru Win10 over 2 separate(non-raid) SDD's. I mostly live in Win 7, But Win10 is looking really good now.
On the drive with Win7, I have that Reserved System partition. Somehow over time it received a drive letter D:.
Will it cause any trouble if I remove just the drive letter from this partition? I do NOT want to delete it. Just want to free up some space in Windows Explorer. I can't use that little partition for anything so why see it everyday? I'm not sure on which partition my MBR/bootloader in located. If it is in this little partition, and I remove the letter, will I have problems booting on the next re-boot?
I use EasyBCD as my bootloader program. I have a copy loaded in each OS.
Thoughts/ Suggestions?
Next somewhat related question. In each Win install the drive letters get mixed up. for example I have a large Data HDD with no OS on it. In Win 7 it has drive letter M:, in Vista it is L:, in Win 8.1 it is S:
While working in each OS can I change the DATA HDD drive letter, and not have a problem in another OS?
Thanks everyone!
