Hi All,
I just added an SSD to my system. I have it up a running fine, but I did notice one thing. I wiped the spinner clean, but it has a 100MB system reserved on D:. I'm just wandering if this normal and/or necessary?

The 100MB partition on the spinner is probably from an earlier installation on the spinner. Just to make sure that there is not a dependency on that bootmgr, disconnect the spinner and boot from the SSD. If that works, then you can delete it.

There is always the danger that a bootmgr or BCD ends up on another disk - especially in your case where the spinner is on a lower port than the SSD.

If there is a dependency, the bootmgr is easy to move: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/209885-bootmgr-move-c-easybcd.html
